MOUNT AIRY — Father Peter K. Nouck has been assigned by Bishop Peter J. Jugis as pastor of Holy Angels Church in Mount Airy, effective Aug. 31.
Father Nouck has served as parochial vicar of Holy Family Church in Clemmons since 2016. He succeeds Father Lawrence Heiney, who is retiring.
Father Nouck was ordained to the priesthood on April 4, 2002, for the Diocese of Buea, Cameroon.
Besides his pastoral duties, Father Nouck established the Joseph-Mary Foundation in 2020 to empower young people in Likumba, Cameroon, to become self-reliant and future leaders by supporting their educational and health needs. He was inspired growing up by the efforts of his parents, who spent their minimal resources to provide love, sustenance and education to children lacking the necessities of life.
“They found that by empowering young people with education and skills, they, in turn, empowered others,” he notes on the foundation’s website, www.joseph-maryfoundation.org.
