ST. LOUIS - On Sunday, January 15, 2006, at 10 a.m., the Polish Apostolate of the Archdiocese of St. Louis will celebrate the installation of the Rev. Czeslaw Litak, a native of Poland, as pastor of St. Agatha Parish, the personal parish in the Archdiocese of St. Louis for persons of Polish heritage and language. The Rev. Msgr. Vernon E. Gardin, vicar general of the Archdiocese of St. Louis, will preside at the installation ceremony.
Although the installation officially inaugurates Fr. Litak’s pastorate, he has been serving in this capacity since his arrival in St. Louis in August 2005. Fr. Litak succeeded the Rev. Adam Hurbanczuk, also a native of Poland, who had served as administrator of the Polish Apostolate during its time at St. John the Apostle and Evangelist Parish and following its move to St. Agatha.
Founded in 1871, St. Agatha Catholic Church was formally inaugurated as the personal parish in St. Louis for Catholics of Polish heritage and language during the pastoral visit of the Most Rev. Ryszard Karpiński, Auxiliary Bishop of the Diocese of Lublin, Poland, in July 2005. Bishop Karpiński visited St. Louis as part of his duties as the delegate for the pastoral care of Polish migrants, on behalf of the Polish Bishops Conference.
