On October 4th, Fr. Chris Pulchny OMI marked two remarkable milestones: his 75th birthday and the 50th anniversary of his priesthood. Fr. Jacek Nosowicz OMI, Provincial, was joyfully present to join him for the celebrations, which were filled with gratitude, prayer, and the companionship of fellow Oblates.

Fr. Chris is well remembered for his many years of devoted service in Assumption Province, where his ministry touched countless lives through parish leadership, missionary work, and his steady pastoral presence and twice as Provincial. Today, as Superior at the OMI Lacombe residence, he continues to be a source of wisdom, care, and encouragement for the community.

We wish Fr. Chris abundant blessings and pray that he may continue his ministry with health, joy, and every grace needed in the years ahead. May his example of dedication inspire us all.
