Rev. Stanley R. Rudcki

Fr. Rudcki shared so many milestones with the Goder Family over the years...music always at the heart.

He was wise, kind, funny and I will always treasure my memories of him.

Truly one of the finest human beings I have ever known. Thank you Fr. Rudki for your wisdom and humor, and for teaching me to see God in the beauty and wonder in the great works of Western literature and fine art.

"Treat a man as he is and he will remain as he is. Treat a man as he is to be and he will become." -- Goethe.

It was my privilege to study symphony choir under Fr. Stan, while at the undergraduate seminary. A good and holy priest. Vale et Ave until we meet again!

Urbane and droll, Father Rudcki produced wonderful musical programs at Niles College, Symphony Hall,in Italy and more recently at St. Alexander Church. He leveraged his connections with the musicians union and the philanthropic community to bring to the masses beautiful concerts drawn from the classical choral catalogue and gave opportunity for amateur singers to blend their voices with full orchestras making breath taking music in choral harmony. What a gift!

I'm sorry to read about your loss. May you draw close to God in prayer and find comfort in reading His word.

Thousands have been enriched by the pastoral, educational, and musical ministries of Fr. Rudcki. May the angels lead him into paradise! I have shared a longer tribute at --

I shall be attending holy Mass in the little village of Stow, Massachusetts, on May 30, for my dear friend, Father Stan. it will be my only consolation in my deep grief over his death and the pain of not being present at his glorious Mass of Resurrection. I knew this brilliant and kind Priest in being Liturgist and part of the Rectory staff of St Alexander years ago. At difficult times he was a strong support in my life. I shall miss him.
