I was born in 1969 in Kosice, Slovakia, where I received a good secondary education. Even though I had been thinking about becoming a priest, I decided to study Particle Physics at Charles University Prague, Czech Republic. In 1995, I finally gave in and entered the Society of Jesus (a Roman Catholic religious order known as the Jesuits), did the 2 years of noviciate in Kolin, Czech Republic, then 2 years of Philosophy in Cracow, Poland, then I taught philosophy for a year in Olomouc, Czech Republic, and did my Theology in Paris, France, and was ordained to the priesthood in 2004. My religious superiors decided, however, that I should make the most of my training in physics, and eventually join the staff of the Vatican Observatory. Members of the Observatory’s team work in science most of the year (mostly in Tucson, Arizona), but they return to their province of origin for a few months each year to work in the area of Science and Religion. Having spent 2003-2005 in the Czech Republic primarily in order to establish a network of contacts to build upon in my future work regarding Science and Religion, I am back in Paris to work on a PhD in astrophysics.
