A Hungarian Roman Catholic priest from Transylvania, he served for many years as pastor of the St. Imre Hungarian parish in Cleveland. He completed his elementary school studies between 1954 and 1961 in his native village of Ditró, and then attended the cantor school in Gyulafehérvár from 1961 to 1965. In 1965, he entered the seminary in Gyulafehérvár and prepared for the priesthood at the College of Theology. Bishop Áron Márton ordained him as a priest for the Diocese of Gyulafehérvár on April 18, 1971. He began his priestly ministry in 1971 as an assistant pastor in Csíkszereda, where he served until 1974. He then served as an assistant pastor in Brașov from 1974 to 1976, and as a parish priest in Óradna from 1976 to 1978. Sources differ regarding his place of service between 1978 and 1982: the obituary in the *Magyar Kurír* mentions Csíkszentdomokos, while the announcement from the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Gyulafehérvár names Csíkszereda. The earlier data sheet lists Csíkszentdomokos, so this information should be definitively verified based on the diocesan directories. In 1982, he left Romania and moved to the West. For three years, until 1985, he lived in Germany and carried out pastoral ministry. The exact location of this ministry is not specified in the currently available sources. In 1985, he moved to the United States, where a defining phase of his life and priestly ministry began. In October 1985, he joined the St. Imre Hungarian Roman Catholic Parish in Cleveland, initially as an assistant pastor. According to the parish’s own historical records, he served as an assistant pastor from October 1985 to July 1988, and then became the parish administrator in 1988. St. Imre Church was one of the most important religious and community centers for Cleveland’s Hungarian community, and Siklódi played a defining role in its life for more than two decades. He not only provided pastoral care to the congregation but also worked to preserve Hungarian-language liturgical and community life. American sources therefore often referred to him as the community’s “pastor” even after 1988, although according to the parish’s official history, he was still an administrator in canonical terms at that time. In 2010, during the reorganization of the Diocese of Cleveland, Bishop Richard G. Lennon decided to close the St. Imre parish. The last Mass was celebrated in the church on June 30, 2010. The parishioners, however, did not accept the decision and instead appealed to the Holy See through canonical channels. After the church’s closure, Siklódi moved to Chicago, while remaining in contact with his former parishioners in Cleveland. In Chicago, he served the Hungarian Catholic community and worked at St. Stephen the King Hungarian Church. Meanwhile, the Cleveland parishioners’ appeal was successful: the Holy See reviewed the decision to close the church, and the St. Imre Church was able to reopen. Siklódi was thus able to return to Cleveland in 2012. The church reopened its doors on November 4, 2012, on the feast day of St. Imre. Approximately six hundred parishioners attended the historically significant Mass. Siklódi celebrated the Mass and delivered the homily in Hungarian. During the ceremony, Robert Begin, pastor of St. Colman Church—who had welcomed St. Imre’s Hungarian parishioners during the closure—symbolically returned the community to its former pastor. After his return, Siklódi initially led the parish once again as administrator. In January 2013, Bishop Richard G. Lennon of Cleveland officially installed him as pastor of St. Imre Parish. Thus, after a long struggle on behalf of the community, he had only a few months left to serve officially as its pastor. Sándor Siklódi passed away on July 31, 2013, at 3:00 p.m. in a Cleveland hospital, following a brief but serious illness, on the feast day of St. Ignatius of Loyola, in the 67th year of his life and the 43rd year of his priesthood. Before his death, he received the sacraments. Among his final messages, he asked his parishioners to remain faithful to God, their faith, and their Church; to preserve their parish; and to care for one another with brotherly love. In 2013, following a Mass at his funeral, he was laid to rest at Holy Cross Cemetery in Brook Park.
