Fr. Lukasz (Luke) Kopaniak SAC
Fr. Lukasz Kopaniak SAC-known simply as Fr. Luke-is a Pallottine priest (Society of the Catholic Apostolate), originally from Poland and ordained in 1989. Over the years, his ministry has taken him to many parts of the world, including Belgium, Scotland, South Korea, Barbados, and Canada.
Throughout these diverse experiences, Fr. Luke has been blessed to serve in a variety of roles-whether in parish life, seminary formation, chaplaincy, or pastoral coordination. What has always remained at the heart of his vocation is a desire to walk with others in faith and help build communities rooted in welcome and trust.
Before arriving at St. Thomas More Parish, Fr. Luke served in several parishes across the Diocese of Hamilton, including Waterloo, Burlington, Brantford, and Kitchener.
He especially enjoys accompanying families, young people, and anyone exploring a deeper relationship with Christ. In his free time, you'll find him reading, walking, traveling, or learning about local cultures.
Fr. Luke is grateful to be part of the St. Thomas More community and looks forward to sharing the journey of faith together.
