Tribute to Father Lendacky (St. Agnes-St. John’s Parish)


To everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under the sun. A time to be born and a time to die.” Eclesiastes 3.

This is a reminder as we mourn the loss of our beloved priest, Father Francis Lendacky. He served the parish of St. Agnes-St. John faithfully for 40 years and the parishioners were faithful to him as well. Father was a humble, gentle, soft-spoken man of God. His entire existence can be summed up in the teaching of the New Baltimore Catechism: “Why did God make you?” “God made us to know, love and serve him in this world and be happy with him in  the next.” And so it is.

His last mission on earth was preparing for morning mass and we found him in the sacristy of the church. In other words, doing what he loved most.  We should not grieve, he is exactly where he would have wanted to be.

I began this tribute with a quote and will end it the same way: “Well done, good and faithful servant. Come and share your master’s joy.” Matthew 25:23.

Rest in peace, Father Lendacky.
