On Sunday\, May 26th at 11 am Holy Mass, Rt. Rev. Bernard Nowicki, Bishop of the Central Diocese PNCC incardinated Deacon Mark Koscinki as a Deacon serving iin the Central Diocese of the Polish National Catholic Church.
Deacon Mark went through years of Diaconate education and training in the diocese and at our parish. He previously served for 15 years as a Deacon in another Christian denomination.
We are very happy having this special celebration in our parish. Our parish will now have a second deacon serving in addition to Deacon Bill Gaydos.
I am confident that the service of Deacon Mark Koscinski would bring spiritual benefit to our parish.
