Born in East Mauch Chunk — present-day Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania — Marzen studied at the Pontifical College Josephinum in Worthington, Ohio and was ordained in the fledgling diocese in the Hawaiian Islands in 1951 alongside his classmate, Msgr. Bernard J. Eikmeier . Marzen was the founding pastor of Our Lady of Good Counsel Church and School in Pearl City as well as Saints Peter and Paul Church in the Kapi`olani Business District of Honolulu. Marzen was appointed a Chaplain of His Holiness with the title of Monsignor by Pope John XXIII in 1963 . His classmate Father Eikmeier would later join him in the ranks of the ''monsignori'' many years later during the episcopate of Msgr. Joseph Anthony Ferrario . After thirty years with the ''Hawaii Catholic Herald'', twenty of which were spent as editor, Marzen was dismissed from his position by the newly appointed Bishop Ferrario. In 1986 , Marzen retired from his position as pastor of Saints Peter and Paul Church. He was subsequently hired in 1987 by Mayor Frank Fasi as an information specialist. |
