After completi
ng a four-year degree in automotive technology, Father Cieslik worked in that field for eight years, but after much time spent in prayer and volunteering in a variety of ways in his parish, Father Cieslik gradually discovered and responded to the possibility that God was calling him to become a priest. He entered the college seminary in 2008 and never looked back. Last spring, he was ordained a priest for the Diocese of Joliet and is now parochial vicar at St. Mary of Gostyn Church in Downers Grove.
