Fr. Matthew Pyrć, SJ, serves as one of the part-time regional promoters for the Northwest region of the USA West province and is the Parochial Vicar at St. Joseph Parish in Seattle. He recently completed his tertianship in South Africa. Before entering the Society in 2006, he worked for 10 years with the Spokane Public School System on a dropout prevention program for underserved youth. Since becoming a Jesuit, Fr. Pyrć has worked in campus ministry at Seattle University, taught Theology and was the director of liturgy at Jesuit High School in Sacramento. He also has several years experience of being a Spiritual Director, assisting people in their vocational discernment and giving Ignatian retreats. When he is not working or meeting with people you may find Fr. Pyrć riding his bike, kayaking, or laughing at memes. A great grace in Fr. Pyrć’s Jesuit vocation has been discovering how the Spirit of God is working and how to recognize it. (mpyrc@jesuits.org)
