Father Adam Kotas was born in Poland on November 15, 1984. Father Adam grew up after immigrating to Chicago in an inner-city immigrant neighborhood before his family moved to the suburb of Norridge, IL. Father Adam’s inner-city Polish neighborhood was quickly becoming Hispanic with thousands of recently arrived Mexican immigrants joining the established and more recent Polish immigrants. It was in Chicago that Father Adam first encountered and fell in love with the Latino culture; when he went to college he decided to study Spanish literature and become fluent in the Spanish language, as well as to dedicate himself to speaking the cultural lingo of the people by learning their customs, ways, and traditions. From an early age, Father Adam felt a calling to the priesthood. Father Adam graduated with a B.A. from Loyola University Chicago in May of 2006. He has a Master of Divinity degree from Ss. Cyril and Methodius seminary in Orchard Lake, Michigan, and a Master of Arts degree in Religious Studies from the University of Detroit Mercy. Father Adam was ordained to the priesthood on May 22, 2010 by Bishop Daniel Walsh who was at that time the Bishop of the diocese of Santa Rosa, California. Father Adam served as a priest in Northern California for five years. He then moved to Las Vegas in 2015, where he served as parochial vicar, first at St. Joseph Husband of Mary Parish, then at Holy Family Church. He returned to his home diocese in California in 2018; his current parish assignment is parochial administrator for Queen of Peace Church in Clearlake. Father Adam is known for his passion and enthusiasm for the Gospel. He is focused on strengthening the people he ministers to with Bible studies, retreats, missions, and engaging liturgies that call attention to the need to be re-evangelized as Catholic Christians in the 21st century. Father Adam is known for his humor and infectious laughter. He is very approachable and easy to talk to and always available to anyone that seeks his guidance and input. Father Adam emphasizes that he is a priest for all people whether Catholic or not. Father Adam believes that people’s lives are hard enough as it is and if the priest can put a smile on their face he should do it to remind them that they are loved, cherished, and wanted children of God.
