Father Stefan Starzynski | Chaplain Fairfax Hospital

Submitted by: Father Christopher Vaccaro

Father Stefan is the head chaplain at a large hospital in Fairfax County. This was the primary Covid hospital for the Northern VA area. He worked 5 days a week (on call 24-hours a day) and never had rest other than his normal days off. He visited dozens and dozens of Covid patients.

Father Stefan shows fidelity to his priestly ministry day by day, particularly in this difficult time. Without fear he brought the sacraments to others.

Father Stefan is exemplary in his unassuming priestly service.
