SOUTH BEND — Deacon Andrew Budzinski may have been a surprise to his parents, arriving 12 years after his older brother, Bob. Entering the seminary at age 30 after beginning a successful career was also a surprise to some. But it’s no surprise that strong family life, both at home and with- in his home parish, formed Andrew into the priest he is about to become. “That’s the best thing that could happen!” exclaims Andrew’s father, Eugene Budzinski. “I didn’t have any idea he wanted to become a priest. He had been working for years, then all of a sudden he said, ‘I think I want to be a priest.’” Known as an outgoing boy, family members say Andrew always had great communication skills. “When he was little, he’d always do imitations of people,” chuckles Bob, sitting in their boy- hood home, nestled between Holy Family Church and Washington High School on South Bend’s west This Budzinski family photo includes Deacon side. “He acted in several plays throughout high school and Andrew’s brother, Bob, and Bob’s wife, Angie, enjoyed drama club.” daughter Victoria and Deacon Andrew’s father Bob was a senior at Washington Eugene. when Andrew started kindergarten at Holy Family, and had to drive him to school.
