Peter Krezalek, LC, was born and raised in Poland as the youngest of three sons. He studied civil engineering in Krakow and then moved to Chicago, where he graduated from the University of Illinois with a BS in computer science and from DePaul University with an MBA. At the age of 33, he realized that Jesus\u2019 earthly mission was coming to an end at that same age, yet what was he doing for Christ? This realization was followed by seven years of rediscovering Christ, and eventually led to leaving the world to follow Him more closely in the religious life. Fr Peter entered the Novitiate of the Legionaries of Christ in Cheshire, CT; obtained a BA in philosophy in Thornwood, NY, and a theology degree in Rome, Italy, from Regina Apostolorum University; and completed a one-year internship in vocational work in Louisiana. He was ordained to the diaconate in Indiana on Aug. 6, 2016, and ordained to the priesthood in Rome, Italy, on Dec. 10, 2016. Now he has been assigned to the Chicago community as the chaplain to the Regnum Christi men\u2019s and women\u2019s sections in Chicago and the Heartland locality (Des Moines, IA; Lincoln and Omaha, NE; Kansas City, MO; and St Louis, MO) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rcheartland.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.rcheartland.org<\/a><\/p>","link":"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/author\/pkrezalek\/","slug":"pkrezalek","avatar_urls":{"24":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/babf675d8af245551aaebf9802e66114afa13b3d39c2479d2e3c62a73784bbc8?s=24&d=blank&r=g","48":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/babf675d8af245551aaebf9802e66114afa13b3d39c2479d2e3c62a73784bbc8?s=48&d=blank&r=g","96":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/babf675d8af245551aaebf9802e66114afa13b3d39c2479d2e3c62a73784bbc8?s=96&d=blank&r=g"},"meta":{"lw_harbor_dismissed_notices":[]},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.8 (Yoast SEO v28.8) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Fr.
