FROM THE INCRNATION CHURCH WEBSITE :
"Greetings to all the parishioners of Incarnation Parish! I thought it would be good for me to introduce myself and share with you a little bit about your pastoral leader.I am very much a "local boy": I grew up in the San Fernando Valley and am a CSUN graduate. Before entering St. John's Seminary in Camarillo, I worked with the L.A. Unified School District. My ordination took place in 1988 and I was assigned to St. Gregory the Great Parish in Whittier as Associate Pastor. In 1990 I was sent to Rome where I began preparation for service in the Vatican Diplomatic Corps; at that same time I also earned a Doctorate in Canon Law from the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas. After the completion of my studies, I was appointed an official of the Vatican Secretariat of State and remained in Rome through the end of the pontificate of Pope John Paul II. Upon my return to Los Angeles in 2005, I was appointed Promoter of Justice for the Archdiocese and worked at the downtown offices. In 2008, I was named Administrator pro tempore of St. Mel Parish in Woodland Hills, after which assignment I returned to Rome, where I remained through the end of 2009. In 2010, I was assigned to St. John Fisher Parish in Rancho Palos Verdes as Associate Pastor and in 2011, I was named Administrator of Incarnation Parish in Glendale.I am very excited about working with you and am most eager to meet all of you. I hope to remain here in Glendale for many years to come. May the grace and peace of the Risen Savior be with you and your families always! -- Msgr. Steven B. Zak "
