In Stuart, Florida, a newly ordained Episcopal priest helps others find 'space of reverence'

As Father Matthew Kozlowski sits in his office at St. Mary’s Episcopal Church, he reflects on his calling to the priesthood.

“I grew up in the Episcopal Church,” he said. “I was active in church and chapel in college but I never really thought about the priesthood until I was working as a chaplain at an Episcopal school.”

Kozlowski, 28, saw that goal become a reality this summer when he was ordained in the priesthood and hired in June as assistant rector at St. Mary’s .

    It must be an exciting time at St Mary. Fr Cederberg is the new rector and Fr Matthew is a new assistant rector. I also noted that from 2008 to 2009 the parish Members declined from 2,500 to 1,200. So much work tto be done. Statmann

    It is encouraging that he has read and liked Tim Keller’s [i]The Reason for God.[/i] Orthodox theology will help a congregation considerably!
