Andrzej Komorowski (born 19 October 1975)[1] is a Polish traditionalist Catholic priest and the former Superior General of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter. He was elected to a six-year term on 9 July 2018 by the General Chapter of the Fraternity at Our Lady of Guadalupe Seminary located in Denton, Nebraska.[2] He was succeeded by John Berg on July 9, 2024.[3]
