CampbellCHARLOTTE — The Diocese of Charlotte announces that Jesuit Father John Michalowski, parochial vicar at St. Peter Parish in Charlotte, is leaving in May for another assignment by his order and the new parochial vicar will be Jesuit Father Paul Brian Campbell.

Born in Belfast, he joined the Irish Jesuits in 1974. He studied philosophy in Paris, then went to Japan where he studied Japanese and Theology and served as a teacher. After ordination to the priesthood, he spent several months assisting in a parish in Yamaguchi, the town where St. Francis Xavier landed in the 16th century. In 1989, he moved to the U.S. to pursue a doctorate in communications, then taught at Le Moyne College in Syracuse, New York, for many years.

In 2006, after a few years serving as vice president of Loyola Productions in Los Angeles, he was missioned to Loyola Press in Chicago, first as vice president for mission, identity and online community building and then as publisher from 2010 to 2016. From 2016 to 2020 he served as associate pastor at Holy Trinity Parish in Washington, D.C., and since 2020 he has been a priest in residence at Loyola Jesuit Center in Morristown, New Jersey.
