Biography[]
Early life[]
Mark Bartosic was born in Neehah, Wisconsin on June 21, 1961. He attended St. Edward School in Ashland, Ohio, then completed his secondary education in the Ashland City School District. Bartosic attended Ashland University, obtaining a BA degree in Theater.[1]
After finished high school in 1983, Bartosic moved to Chicago to get acting jobs. According to Bartosic, he started attending mass at a Chicago church and was impressed with how much more diverse it was than his church in Ashland. After re-evaluating his chances of becoming a successful actor, he decided he would rather be a successful priest. In 1989, Bartosic entered the University of St. Mary of the Lake in Mundelein, Illinois and later Niles College Seminary.[2] After graduation, Bartosic spent a year in Mexico working in an orphanage.[3]
Priesthood[]
On May 21, 1994, Bartosic was ordained to the priesthood for the Archdiocese of Chicago at Holy Name Cathedral in Chicago by Cardinal Joseph Bernardin.[4]
After his ordination, Bartosic was assigned as associate pastor to St. Agnes of Bohemia Parish in Chicago. In 2001, he was named pastor of St. Frances of Rome Parish in Cicero, Illinois, serving there for 15 years. Bartosic assumed the additional pastoral duties at Our Lade of Charity Parish in Cicero in 2009.[1]
In 2016, Bartosic was named Director of the Kolbe House Jail Ministry in Chicago as well as the pastorage of Assumption Blessed Virgin Mary Parish in Chicago.[1]
Auxiliary Bishop of Chicago[]
Pope Francis appointed Bartosic as auxiliary bishop for the Archdiocese of Chicago on July 3, 2018.[5][6] He was installed and consecrated at Holy Name Cathedral on September 17, 2018 by Cardinal Blase Cupich.[4]
On September 22, 2018, Cardinal Cupich ordered Paul Kalchik, the pastor of Resurrection Parish in Chicago, after receiving complaints from parishioners. Ten days earlier, Kalchik had held a so-called exorcism at the church, followed by the burning of a rainbow flag on the church grounds. Bartosic met with Kalchik at the parish and told him he had to leave his residence or be arrested for trespassing. Since Kalchik was just getting ready to officiate a wedding, Bartosic took his place.[7]
