Welcome to Deacon Ron!

I am Deacon Ron Pilarski. My wife, Alyce, and I will be celebrating our 45th wedding anniversary next month. We have two daughters both of whom got married in 2017 and we have three grandchildren. My wife and I are both retired. Alyce retired from Loyola Medical University Medical Center in 2018 where she worked in home care and hospice. I had a 48-year career with Jewel Food Stores and their one-time parent company Supervalu with the last 33 years as an internal auditor working in both areas in finance and loss prevention. We live in the Northwest side of Chicago and have been registered parishioners at St. Celestine Parish in Elmwood Park which is now part of St. Mother Theodore Guerin Parish. I was ordained in 2005. I have served at St. Celestine for three years, Mater Christi for five years, St. Beatrice in Schiller Park for five years and most recently at St. Mother Theodore Guerin for four years. I am a third-degree Knight of Columbus. Besides being involved in various aspects of parish ministry, I have served as a Field Delegate for the marriage tribunal of the Archdiocese of Chicago for the last sixteen years and, after participating in a pilgrimage to India in 2016, as a Mission Appeal Coordinator for Foundation for Children in Need, a non-profit that serves the poor and under-privileged in Central India. Alyce and I had also facilitated baptismal preparation classes for fifteen years.
