It is important for Grzegorz, and for us, to understand what it means to be a priestly people, said Perth Archbishop Timothy Costelloe SDB, during the ordination of Fr Grzegorz Rapcewicz, Friday 12 August.
“This is at the heart of the common vocation we all share and for that very reason it is at the heart of the vocation to the ministerial priesthood through which Christ enables the Church to live this vocation fruitfully,” Archbishop Costelloe said.
Deacon Grzegorz Rapcewicz will this week be ordained the 43rd priest from Perth’s Redemptoris Mater Seminary by Archbishop Timothy Costelloe SDB. Hailing originally from Warsaw, Poland, Dcn Grzegorz highlighted the importance the domestic church had on his faith journey, which ultimately led him to the priesthood.
Redemptorist Mater seminarian Grzegorz Rapcewicz has spent 10 years discerning his vocation and is now set to be ordained to the Diaconate, en route to priesthood, on 12 August at St Mary’s Cathedral.
