The Vestry of St. Luke’s is pleased to share the appointment of Fr. David Radzik as the new rector of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church. We are thrilled to welcome him and his family to our church community, and the greater community of Bucks County. While the search process has been long and sometimes difficult, we are reminded that all good is accomplished in God’s time and in His care. Fr. Radzik will officially start at St. Luke’s on July 1, 2024, and his first Mass will be on Sunday, July 7th. Please pray for him and his family as they make the move from Ohio to Pennsylvania.
Fr. David Radzik comes to Saint Luke’s after serving seven years at St. Thomas Episcopal Church in Berea, OH having also served several years as a pediatric hospital chaplain.
He is 2015 graduate of Nashotah House Theological Seminary in Wisconsin and holds a Bachelor of Arts in Classics from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. Prior to entering ministry, Fr. Radzik was a teacher of English as a Second Language and taught in South Korea, China, and the United States.
He is married to Lorrin, who is an ordained United Methodist clergywoman with whom he has three wonderful, young children.
Fr. Radzik has a keen interest in Christian spirituality and theology, and seeks creative ways for the Church to address the needs of 21st century America. His ministry is deeply informed by the writings of the Church Fathers, as well as 20th century Catholic theologians.
He is passionate about teaching, pastoral care, and about creating vital and transformative worship rooted in our rich Anglican tradition expressed in the Book of Common Prayer.
He is a member of the Society of Catholic Priests, as well as several Anglo-Catholic devotional societies such as the Society of Mary and the Guild of All Souls. As a native New Englander, he loves swimming, being out on the water, and hiking. Fr. Dave is also a lifelong Boston Red Sox fan though he suspects the Phillies will begin to grow on him as he settles into the Philadelphia area. He also enjoys reading novels, poetry, and a wide array of non-fiction. But most of all, he enjoys being with his family and looks forward to many new Pennsylvania-based adventures in the years to come.
