Deacon Mike Kopczynski

I was ordained in the Diocese of Buffalo, New York in 1996 and served in parish ministry there for 10 years. Following my retirement from a self-employed mechanical/manufacturing engineering career, my wife, Marlene, and I moved to Naples to join family friends. There I served at St. Finbarr's and San Marco Parish. With the birth of our first grandchild, we relocated to Nashville. There for 13 years, I served at 3 parishes including St. Joseph's, St. John Vianney, and Our Lady of the Lake. Several years ago, my wife passed from cancer, and now was the time for me to be with my daughter, son-in-law, and two grandchildren who reside in Wesley Chapel. I look forward to being of service to the people of God here at St. Mark the Evangelist parish.
