Father Paul Kycynda was ordained January 7, 1968. Six months prior on June 11, 1967 he married Barbara Kutzevich. The young priest and his Matushka were assigned shortly after his ordination to the Holy Resurrection Orthodox Parish in Wayne, NJ. They started out with just 12 families and three acres of land. Over the last 50 Years Father Paul and Matushka Barbara have built a church, served the community, and grown a vital parish family. Always a thriving church community, Holy Resurrection spreads Christ's message of love and opens it's doors to all who come in faith. In 2018 The Most Reverend Michael Archbishop of New York and New Jersey gathered with many past and present parishioners along with fellow clergy from near and far, to honor Father Paul's 50 years as Pastor and Leader to so many that have called Holy Resurrection Orthodox Church their home.
