Fr. Dam Nguyen – I left Vietnam in 1981 and came to America in 1984 after three years in the refugee camps. After my studies in local universities and seminary formation, I was ordained in 1993 in Saint Paul Cathedral for the Diocese of Pittsburgh.

In addition to being a chaplain to the Vietnamese Catholic Community in Pittsburgh, I have been assigned to the parishes of Saint Anne in Castle Shannon, Word of God in Swissvale, Saint Gabriel of the Sorrowful Virgin in Whitehall, Saint Stephen in Hazelwood, Sacred Heart in Emsworth, and the parish grouping of Saint Maria Goretti in Bloomfield, Immaculate of Mary in Polish Hill and Our Lady of the Angels in Lawrenceville.

My priestly life has been primarily shaped and made by the parishioners and the people I encountered. I do not know if I mean anything to them, but they do mean a lot to me.”

Fr. Nick Vaskov – I was born and raised in Pittsburgh and, other than five years of seminary, have lived here all my life.

I have been a priest for 11 years, ordained in 2009, and have served in a variety of pastoral and administrative assignments, including Saint Paul Cathedral, parishes in New Castle, PA, Saint Mary of Mercy in Downtown, and the Shrines of Pittsburgh grouping, as well as Vice-Rector of Saint Paul Seminary, among others.

I love to smile and I love to serve others and I know there will be many opportunities to do both as pastor of Christ Our Savior Parish. I always try my best to be accessible to people, so please do not hesitate to reach out to me through the parish office or by e-mail at [email protected].

I hope that God will allow me to be a good steward of this parish and I know I can’t do that without your help.
