Please know that whoever you are and wherever you find yourself on your journey of faith, you are welcome here! I am available at the Centre and you can always email me at frjamroz@jp2waterloo.ca or call me at 905 906 9905 to set up a time to get to know each other and learn more about our faith and life at the Centre. We are so glad you are here. 
God bless you in your life here at the university campus. We hope to share in it with you. I very much look forward to hearing from you and meeting you.


Pax Christi,
Fr. Pawel Jamroz
Chaplain, St. John Paul II Student Centre

Fr. Jamroz's Bio:

Born and raised in Poland, Fr. Jamroz graduated from Jagiellonian University in Krakow and worked as a teacher and journalist. Inspired by St. John Paul II, he discovered his vocation by meeting wonderful and dedicated priests. The most influential for him was professor Rev. Joseph Tischner, a charismatic Polish priest and famous philosopher.  Fr. Jamroz accomplished his theological studies at St. Peter’s Seminary, London, and was ordained to the presbyterate on May 6, 2017. He holds an M.A. in literature, MPhil, MDiv, and MTS. He has served two years as an Associate Pastor at Blessed Sacrament Parish in Kitchener and one year as  Pastor of  St. Margaret Mary Parish in Hamilton.
In his priestly ministry, his desire is to assist people in their searching for hope and meaning. When asked if he has favourite saints, Fr. Jamroz answers (with a smile) “I prefer sinners.”
