Welcome FR. Anthony Wroblewski, - our new chaplain!
Dear Members of St. Raphael’s Guild,
We have the great pleasure of introducing to you our new Guild Chaplain, Fr. Tony Wroblewski.
Fr. Tony Wroblewski and Fr. Matt MillerThe following is Fr. Tony’s auto-bio as written for the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Rosary Parish newsletter from 7/30/20, as well as a snippet from an email:...This Coronavirus isn’t helping us to get to meet and know each other. But hopefully this is a start. I was born and raised in St. Paul, Minnesota, though my family spent much of our summers in the Brainerd Lakes Area, where my parents bought a lake-place when I was about 6 years old. Some of my happiest memories come from my years “on the lake.” My parents were born in Poland and then eventually immigrated to this nation after World War II, in very circuitous routes. So Polish language, culture, traditions and food were always a part of our family’s time together, and still are to this day. Of course, being Polish, it was almost automatic that my Catholic Faith would play a large role in my upbringing. We attended St. Casimir Church in St. Paul during most of the year, and then St. Emily’s in Emily when we were up at the cabin.I always loved my Catholic Faith, and loved being involved in many aspects of Church life, so I guess it wasn’t a surprise to those who know me that I eventually entered the Seminary. Because the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate had served at St. Casimir’s since my birth, I entered their formation program at Creighton University, where I earned my undergraduate degree. Seminary was in Chicago at Catholic Theological Union. I did take 3 years out of formation from 1990-1993, not ready to make a lifetime commitment as a priest. After re-entering formation in 1993, I was ordained a priest on June 10, 1995.Since then, I have served as Associate Pastor and then Pastor of Holy Family Catholic Church in Duluth, Minnesota, at the Shrine of Our Lady of the Snows in Belleville, Illinois, and after I joined the Diocese of Duluth as a diocesan priest as Pastor of the Brainerd area Catholic Churches of St. Francis, St. Mathias, St. Andrew’s, All Saints and St. Thomas. My parents permanently moved to Emily in 1995, and still live on the Lake in retirement. I have 2 sisters, both who live in the St. Paul area; one is a retired Police officer, and the other does communications and education consulting. That’s just a small snippet of my life. I hope to have many years with you, so that we can come to know each other much better.[Regarding being the Chaplain of St. Raphael’s Guild,] Bishop Muhich asked me to consider it. He knows that I obtained Certification through the NCBC for Biomedical Ethics. I served on the Ethics Committee of St. Joseph Hospital in Brainerd for 12 years. So it should be a good fit. The answer is yes, and I am looking forward to it.-Fr. Tony -
