Letter from Fr. Glen Dmytryszyn to Assumption Parish

WELCOME FR. GLEN DMYTRYSZYN

Greetings,

Praised be Jesus Christ! It gives me great joy to write this letter. My name is Fr. Glen Dmytryszyn and I am honored and thrilled to be appointed the Administrator of Our Lady of the Assumption Parish.

A Connecticut native, my family currently resides in Wethersfield. I attended St. John’s Seminary in Boston and was ordained to the priesthood in May of 2017. Since then, I have served at St. John Bosco Parish in Branford, St. Gregory the Great and St. Matthew Parishes in Bristol, as well as Chaplain of St. Paul Catholic High School and Director of the Respect Life Ministry of the Archdiocese of Hartford. I am an avid fan of the New York Yankees and enjoy hiking, kayaking, and golf. One of my greatest joys however is praying and working with the people of God who make our parishes so special. I’m excited to get to know what makes Our Lady of the Assumption the amazing parish that it is. As I get settled, I look forward to meeting and hearing directly from you, the parishioners, about your parish experience.

Jesus is the center of our Catholic lives. He alone gives us purpose, meaning, and hope. Our parish stands as Christ’s presence, through our Celebration of the Eucharist, to all who come into our Church. Taking up the legacy of the past with our eyes set firmly on the future, I am happy to be part of this chapter in the history of the Our Lady of the Assumption Parish in Woodbridge.

Please be assured of my prayers. Praying and working together and entrusting ourselves to the powerful intercession of Mary, Our Lady of the Assumption, we will reflect Jesus to our community and beyond.

In Christ,

Fr. Glen
