About the Homilist - Reverend Michael J. Pawelko

He attended St. Philip Neri grade school in East Greenville and graduated from Upper Perkiomen High School in 1985, and did quality assurance work for a company in Sellersville for many years.

After starting to feel the call to the priesthood, he entered St. Charles Seminary in 2002 and was ordained a priest by Justin Cardinal Rigali in 2010 at the age of 43.

His first assignment was as Parochial Vicar at Our Lady of Good Counsel in Southampton. This was followed by an assignment as Parochial Vicar at St. Eleanor in Collegeville. From 2014 to 2019 he served as Parochial Vicar of St. Joseph Parish in Aston.
