On December 30, 2024, a Funeral Mass was offered at Our Lady of Czestochowa Church in London for the late Fr. Tadeusz. A large community of the faithful, as well as the departed priest’s family, Michaelite Fathers, and diocesan clergy, gathered for the occasion. The Eucharist was presided over by the Vice-Provincial Superior, Fr. Andrew Kowalczyk, while Fr. Jan Burczyk delivered the homily—reflecting on Fr. Tadeusz’s life and ministry.
Bishop Joseph extended his heartfelt greetings and condolences but was unable to attend in person due to his diocesan commitments.
Following the liturgy, the funeral procession proceeded to St. Peter’s Cemetery in London, where Fr. Tadeusz’s body was laid to rest. We offered our prayers for his eternal repose and peace in the Lord. May his many years of service and example of humble faith remain a source of inspiration and strength for us all.
