Dear Brothers and Sisters at Epiphany Parish,

As you have heard from Msgr. Jameson, I will be your new Administrator.  I am looking forward to meeting all of you and getting to know you. 

My name is Fr. Stefan, and I am thrilled to be able to walk together with you on this faith journey, following our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, as His disciples here at Epiphany Parish.  My first day with you will be July 7th. 

As Msgr. Jameson indicated, I was born and raised in Germany.  My whole family is still there.  I discerned my call to the priesthood while I was in the United States for six months, doing research for my Ph.D.  During that time, I traveled to Washington, D.C., Missouri, and Kansas, and had a great time.  I met many wonderful people, and was deeply moved and impressed by the way they lived their faith so actively and dynamically.

I decided to study for the priesthood, and was accepted by the Archdiocese of Washington.  I went to Saint John Paul II Seminary, followed by Theological College, both in Washington, D.C.  Since my ordination to the priesthood in 2019, I have served for the last two years as Parochial Vicar at St. Elizabeth Church in Rockville, Maryland.  Because of my heritage, I am also involved with the Hungarian Catholic Community here in the Diocese. 

I want to express my gratitude to Msgr. Jameson, for all of his hard work and dedication as Interim Administrator, after the sudden death of your beloved Pastor, Msgr. Mosley. 

Please keep me in your prayers as I get started, and know that I also pray for all of you. Through the intercession of our Blessed Mother Mary, may the Lord continue to bless our parish and the wonderful work that is done here. 

May God bless you all,
Fr. Stefan
