My Name is Fr. Peter Dugandzic. Here is some background information:
- I am a priest of the Diocese of Rockville Centre in New York.
- I attended the Seminary of the Immaculate Conception in Huntington NY.
- I was ordained a priest on 5/27/1995.
- My first assignment was St. William the Abbot in Seaford NY (1995-2000).
- My second assignment was St. Mary’s in Manhasset NY (2000-2003).
- I was sent for advanced studies in Moral Theology from 2003-2008.
- I received a licentiate from the Catholic University of America in Wash. D.C.
- I received a doctorate from the Accademia Alfonsiana in Rome.
- I am currently the pastor of Blessed Sacrament in Valley Stream NY.
My area of specialization for the doctorate was in the teaching of Pope John Paul II on the proper understanding of human sexuality. More specifically, I contrasted his anthropological approach with that of a secular humanist named Dr. Paul Kurtz. This study is relevant in the United States context and specifically applies to the public education system in which Catholic Teaching on human sexuality is omitted under the separation principle.
