He served as an Associate Pastor for three parishes in Poland: Saint Francis of Assisi in Bielsko-

Father Greg Rozborski, Ph.D.

Associate Pastor
Fr. Greg Rozborski, Ph.D. was born in Poland, the third child of a family of six. Very early in his youth, he demonstrated a penchant for theatre. At age 18, he felt a calling for something more. He knew God was calling him to serve the Church. After much discernment, he joined the Michaelite Order, an order whose charism is to teach. His seminary studies brought him to Canada in 1999. There he obtained a Master of Theology, from St. Peter’s Seminary, in affiliation with Western University, London Ontario.
Through his priestly journey, he has served as an associate pastor in four parishes, most recently, as Pastor of St. Pio of Pietrelcina in Roseville, Michigan from 2014 until June 2022. His next assignment brought him to St. Anastasia Catholic Church in July of 2022. Though he has loved working in many parishes, the desire to teach has never been far from his heart. In 2020, he began coursework directed toward a PhD in Pastoral Theology and Psychology. This spring, he completed his coursework and obtained an STL degree (Sacred Theology Licentiate) in Pastoral Theology and Psychology. Although he remains a priest with the Archdiocese of Detroit, Archbishop Gomez has graciously extended him the opportunity to serve in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles while completing his PhD, with the aspiration to one day teach at the seminary or university level while continuing to serve this diocese.
