This coming June, the Apostleship of Prayer has a great reason to celebrate.  Fr. Kubicki, the National Director of the Apostleship of Prayer, is celebrating the 25th anniversary of his ordination!  He became a priest on the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, June 10, 1983.  It is no coincidence that he was ordained on this great feast day – the Lord had a plan for him to promote devotion to His Most Sacred Heart with the Apostleship of Prayer.

Fr. Kubicki was raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He entered the Jesuits in 1971 and was ordained in 1983. From 1984-88 he served as the Vocation Director and from 1995-99 as the Director of Formation for the Jesuits of the Wisconsin Province, a seven-state region in the upper Midwest. From 1989-95 he worked at the Sioux Spiritual Center, a retreat house for Native Americans in western South Dakota. During that time he was also the Assistant Director of the Diocese of Rapid City's deacon and lay ministry formation program. From 2000-03 he was the Assistant Director of Demontreville, the Jesuit Retreat House in Lake Elmo, Minnesota.

Fr. Kubicki's involvement with the Apostleship of Prayer goes back to his high school days when he first encountered the monthly leaflets with the Holy Father's intentions. In 1995 he became the Wisconsin Province Director of the Apostleship of Prayer, and in 1997 he became a member of the Apostleship's national board of directors. He became National Director on July 31, 2003.

Please join in our prayers of thanksgiving to God for Fr. Kubicki’s priestly vocation!
