Favorite Quote: “Put down your small ambitions, and come with me to save the world.” – St. Francis Xavier

A native of Lemont, IL, Fr. Krengiel joined the PND family this past year and has loved getting to know the students and families, working with a great group of teachers, and the depth of faith found in the PND community. He has felt his own faith grow every time he has fed the students and faculty the nourishing substance of the Holy Eucharist. Being a high school chaplain has allowed him to combine his original dream of going into secondary education along with his vocation of priesthood to impact students’ lives and help people to progress in their journey with God. Fr. Krengiel also enjoys golf, inline skating, and playing music; his love of music is on display when he coaches the drumline of PND’s marching band!
