Reverend Peter A. Cibulskis, M.I.C. age 85, was called home to be with his Lord in the early morning hours of Monday, Sept. 28, 2009 at St. Joseph’s Home.<\/p>\n

He joined the Congregation of the Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception immediately after his military service. Father began his priestly formation at Marian Seminary, Clarendon Hills, Ill.
