Our priests

Father Marek was born in Bratislava, Slovakia, on 14 April 1978. He has four younger brothers, two of whom are also priests, and one sister. After hearing his calling to the priesthood during his first year at the Slovak Technical University, Father Marek began his priestly formation at the Diocesan Seminary of Bratislava-Trnava and was ordained in 2003.

After serving in several parishes in Slovakia, Father Marek was asked by his Archbishop to serve the faithful in the United States. He spent a year at St. Cyril and Methodius Slovak Church in Michigan and later moved to Illinois. Following a year at St. Genevieve Parish on the north side of Chicago, he continued his service in Oak Lawn starting in July 2009.

Following his experience in the United States, he was sent to the United Kingdom for two years to serve the Slovak community in the Leeds area. Since August 2019, he has been serving as the head of the Slovak Catholic Mission in Brussels.
