Richard was working in a bank in Brooklyn (Borough of Kings).

He was journeying to the Kings of Kings Kingdom.

One day, Richard was working in the bank. He saw a seminarian go in to it. The student wore a shirt, print "HOLY APOSTLES COLLEGE & SEMINARY" - and the spark of the vocation to Catholic priesthood.

He was following, not only the marching band music; he leaving the bank to the heavenly hymns to follow a church bursar, to be a spiritual treasurer to be a fisher of people.

Richard's religious community is the Society of the Missionaries of the Holy Apostles (M.S.A.).

After years of studying / praying, our Polish American was ordained placed for the hands of the (Polish) Pope John Paul II.

The M.S.A. motto is:

UNITED IN THE LORD JESUS
