Father Marek

Father Marek, is our beloved priest and leader for San Damiano Group.  It is his heart and vision who helped put SDG together and continues to breathe life and vitality into the group.  We are thankful for his continued support and continue to pray for his recently departed mother Aniela Stybor.

Fr. Marek Stybor, OFM Conv., originally of the Gdansk Province of Poland, chose to do his theological studies in Kenya because of his desire to be a missionary in Africa. He received an STB from Tangaza College, Nairobi, Kenya, in 1999, the same year in which he was ordained. In 2001 he received a certificate in Franciscan Formation and Spiritual Direction from the Franciscan Study Centre, Canterbury, England. In 2006 he completed an MA in Franciscan Studies from The Franciscan Institute, Olean, NY. As a missionary in Kenya and Tanzania Fr. Marek has served the community as Vocation Director, Postulant Director, and Retreat Director.
