Leader Bio:
Fr Marian Nycz, popularly known as Father Mario, was appointed on 4th December 2015 as Parochial Administrator for St Patrick’s Parish, Chislehurst. Originally from Poland, Father Mario has worked for many years in education. His natural gift for adapting to a new environment has enabled him to take over as Parochial Administrator of St Patrick’s following Father George Webster’s retirement. Since his arrival, Father Mario’s ministry has grown from St Patrick’s and neighbouring parishes in the Bromley Deanery, to his additional appointment as Parochial Administrator for Our Lady Help of Christians Mottingham in the Greenwich Deanery. He takes the place of Father John O’Callaghan who retired in August 2016. Father Mario’s experience in education bears fruit here on British soil in his increasing involvement and work with the youth. He is chaplain to St. Vincent’s Catholic Primary School in Mottingham and helps on occasions at Christ the King Sixth Form College in Sidcup. We wish Father Mario a fruitful ministry at both OLHC and St. Patrick’s parishes
