St. Wenceslaus Parish and School was blessed to have Fr. Siedlecki as its pastor. He brought new ideas, energy, humor and excitement to our community in the 70s and 80s. Even after he left, he remained a friend to the families who worked with him at our parish. As years passed, it was a joy to see him at parites and other events. He will be missed by all those who were fortunate to have known him.
