Pastor assignments take effect Aug. 1: Father Adrian Komar
On Aug. 1, three priests in the Diocese of Salt Lake City will begin their assignments as pastor or administrator of a new parish. The Intermountain Catholic asked each priest four questions to introduce them to their new parishioners. Father Adrian Komar's answers follow.
Father Adrian Komar was ordained a priest on June 10, 2006 for the Diocese of Siedlce, Poland, where he served as vicar in various locations before coming to Utah in 2013. He was in residence at St. Ambrose Parish, then served as parochial vicar at the parishes of Our Lady of Lourdes (Magna), St. Francis of Assisi, St. John the Baptist and St. George. In 2017 he was appointed administrator of Christ the King Parish in Cedar City. Two years later he was incardinated in the Diocese of Salt Lake City and named pastor of that parish. On Aug. 1 he will begin his new assignment as pastor of Saint Thomas More Parish in Cottonwood Heights.
Fr. Komar speaks Polish and English.

What are you looking forward to most about your new assignment?
I am looking forward to building one strong community united in Jesus Christ.
As a priest, what has been your biggest challenge?
The biggest challenge is to find a way to those who are far from God and show them his love.
As a priest, what has been your most satisfying experience?
Every Eucharist is the most satisfying experience. There is always something new and beautiful that helps me grow.
