FR. ANTHONY SALIBA: A NEW PASTOR FOR OUR PARISH

Fr. Anthony is originally from the small Mediterranean island of Malta, off the coast of Italy. As a seminarian, he completed his theological formation in Rome. Ordained to the priesthood in June 2001, he continued his academic work at the Gregorian University in Rome, earning degrees in Sacred Theology and Art. His ministry took him to the Ambrosian Diocese of Milan, where he served the local Church in Catholic schools and on college campuses, combining his artistic background with pastoral service.

In 2016, Fr. Saliba was welcomed into the Diocese of Rockville Centre, where he began his ministry at St. Raphael Parish in East Meadow, serving as Associate Pastor for five years. He then continued his pastoral work for three additional years as Associate Pastor at St. Rose of Lima Parish in Massapequa before dedicating the last year to teaching Latin at the parish schools of St. Mary’s in Manhasset, where he also served as Parish Administrator. He also serves as a chaplain at the Nassau County Correctional Facility in East Meadow.

Now, with deep gratitude and joy, Fr. Saliba has been appointed Pastor of our Parish of Saints Cyril and Methodius here in Deer Park. He is thankful to Bishop John Barres for this new mission and to his predecessor, Fr. Gius Garcia, for his generous support and welcome. With great trust in the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Patron Saints Cyril and Methodius, Fr. Saliba looks forward to journeying together with the parish community in faith, service, and love of Christ.
