Obituary for
Brother Nicholas Koziak, OSBM
1940 – 2024
Brother Nicholas Koziak, OSBM died peacefully in the hospital in Lamont, AB on Saturday March 30, 2024, at the age of 83. Born Eugene on May 21, 1940, in Edmonton, AB, he was orphaned from age 7 and was sent to live at St. Joseph’s Orphanage in Mundare, AB, which was a ministry of the Sisters Servants of Mary Immaculate (SSMI). It was during his time in the orphanage under the Sisters’ care that Bro. Nicholas began to contemplate a vocation to the religious life. He entered the Basilian Novitiate in Mundare, AB on March 15, 1957, and made his Solemn Profession of Vows in the Basilian Order of St. Josaphat on September 8, 1962.
Throughout his years in the Basilian Order, Bro. Nicholas served in the kitchen as a monastery cook in the Order’s communities in Mundare, AB; Vancouver, BC; Rome, Italy; and Grimsby, ON. When the Order closed its monastery in Grimsby in 2003, Bro. Nicholas, was assigned, once again, to live in the Mundare monastery. For the past few years, due to failing health, he was living in Fr. Filas Manor, next to the Basilian Monastery in Mundare. Brother Nicholas will be remembered for his always pleasant and cheerful disposition as well as his amazing ability to remember even the most minute details of every obituary he has ever read.
Bright (Resurrectional) Parastas will be celebrated Wednesday, April 3 at 7:00 p.m. at Sts. Peter and Paul Ukrainian Catholic Church, 5331 Sawchuk Street, Mundare. The Funeral Divine Liturgy will be celebrated on Thursday, April 4 at 10:00 a.m., also at Sts. Peter and Paul Ukrainian Catholic Church, with burial to follow in the Basilian Order’s section of Sts. Peter and Paul Cemetery, Mundare, AB.
