Walden Fr. Novajosky’s Note In last week’s bulletin I presented some of my thoughts and vision for the parish that I hope we can accomplish together. In this week’s note I wish to offer a short biography. My name is Michael Patrick Novajosky, taking the names of my parents Michael and Patricia. Born at St. Vincent Hospital in 1983, I grew up in the North End of Bridgeport, a few blocks from the Catholic Center and St. Andrew Church. Mom and Dad still live in the same home today. Don’t be sur- prised if you see them at my Sunday Masses as at least one of them will often try to attend whenever possible. They usually sit in the first few rows and try to be on the side where I will distribute Holy Communion. I am the oldest of four, two brothers and a sister. They are all local in Bridgeport, Monroe and Shelton. When it was time for Kindergarten, St. Andrew School only began at the firstgrade level. In- sistent that their children would attend Catholic school, my family became parishioners at St. Theresa in Trumbull and all four of us attended the school. After Graduation I continued across town to St. Joseph High School and, while there, I embraced the formal beginning of my discernment to become a priest. I graduated from high school in 2001 and entered St. John Fisher Seminary in Stamford where I lived for two years while attending Sacred Heart University. It was my first experience with philosophy and I never turned back. Philosophy remains an important part of my life as I also teach college classes to the seminarians in philosophy today (Contemporary Philosophy, Philosophical Theology and Philoso- phy of Human Nature). After two years of undergraduate studies, I transferred to the Catholic Universi- ty of America and resided at Theological College as part of a scholarship opportunity. I spent three years in Washington, D.C. completing my bachelor’s degree and earning a licentiate in philosophy (Ph.L.), the equivalent to a master’s Degree. In 2006 I continued to sense the call and desire toward the priesthood and so I began my theo- logical studies at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome while residing at the Pontifical North American College. My five years in the Eternal City were a gift and even today, as I recall them, they have a dreamlike quality to them. I learned the Italian language, became an unofficial Roman and dis- covered a new culture and the broader experience of the truly Catholic, that is Universal, Church. After five years of study, having competed both my bachelor’s degree and licentiate in sacred theology, I was assigned as an associate at St. Jude in Monroe in 2011. My time as an associate was shortlived. The following year I was reduced to parttime status and took on the responsibility of chaplain at my alma mater, St. Joseph High School. In 2013 I ceased as an associate and became the fulltime chaplain at the school with weekend responsibilities at the par- ish, where I lived until September 2016 when I moved to the Cathedral as a resident. I remained at St. Joseph until the end of last month until I became the Pastor on June 30. In addition, in February I was appointed as the Coordinator of Diaconate Formation. Bridgeport is home. Even though I attended school out of the city, I am back. My parents were married at St. Augustine in 1977. My grandparents, Ed and Mary Novajosky were long time parishion- ers of St. Patrick. Two of the most vivid liturgical memories are attending the Easter Vigil in the upper church of St. Pat’s back in sixth grade with my grandparents and my grandfather’s funeral in the lower church the summer of my senior year of high school. It is a joy to be at a parish that consists of two churches that have played important roles in the life of my family. I hope to be a part of helping other families at both the highs and lows of their lives to receive the love the Lord Jesus Christ and discover again and again the beauty and truth of his Church. St. Augustine and St. Patrick, our patrons, pray for us! Nota del Padre Novajosky En el boletín de la semana pasada presenté algunos de mis pensamientos y visión para la parro- quia que espero podamos lograr juntos. En la nota de esta semana, deseo ofrecer una breve biografía. Mi nombre es Michael Patrick Novajosky, tomando los nombres de mis padres Michael y Patricia. Nací en el Hospital San Vicente en 1983 y crecí en el North End de Bridgeport, a pocas cuadras del Cen- tro Católico y de la Iglesia de San Andrés. Mamá y papá todavía viven en la misma casa. No se sorprenda si los ven en mis Misas dominicales, ya que al menos uno de ellos tratará de asistir siempre que sea posi- ble.
