MILWAUKEE — The Rev. Jeffrey R. Haines, 58, who was born in Milwaukee, and the Rev. James T. Schuerman, also 58, a Burlington native, have been appointed by Pope Francis as auxiliary bishops for the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. The appointments were announced in Rome on Wednesday. The two priests will be ordained bishops by Milwaukee Archbishop Jerome E. Listecki at the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist, where Haines is the rector and pastor. The ordination date has not been announced, but should be within the next five to eight weeks, according to a news release from the archdiocese. "By choosing two of our own priests as our new auxiliary bishops, the Holy Father has paid a high compliment to all the priests from this archdiocese," Listecki said in the release. "In these two humble parish priests, Pope Francis has chosen men with a pas- toral heart who have deep spirituality, and men who have the confidence of the priests and people of the archdiocese." The Archdiocese of Milwaukee has one current auxiliary bishop, Bishop Emeritus Richard J. Sklba, 81, who was appointed a bishop by Pope John Paul II and served the Archdiocese of Milwaukee until his retire- ment in 2010. Auxiliary bishops serve the Roman Catholic church by assisting the diocesan bishop in teaching, leading, serving and cel- ebrating the sacraments. "I always have considered the vocation of priestly ministry in the church to be the greatest of gifts, because each and every day I am blessed with the opportunity to pro- claim the saving Gospel of Jesus Christ in Word and Sacrament and thus encounter Him in the people I serve," Haines said in a written statement. Haines, 58, was ordained a priest on May 17, 1985, by Archbishop Rembert G. Weakland. He was elected three times as moderator of the Archdiocesan Council of Priests of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee and is a member of the College of Consultors. In 1985, Haines was appointed associate pastor of St. Nicholas in Milwaukee. In 1987, he was given additional responsibilities as associate pastor of Holy Redeemer Church in Milwaukee. In 1991, he was appointed associate pastor of St. Eugene Parish, Fox Point. In 1996, he was appointed pastor of St. Frances Cabrini Parish in West Bend. He was given leave to study canon law at Catholic University in 2002, but returned within the year to become temporary administrator of St. Patrick Parish in Whitewater. In 2003, he returned as pastor of St. Frances Cabrini Parish and was an assisting priest at Immaculate Conception St. Mary's, West Bend in 2004. In 2011, he was appointed rector of the cathedral. Haines was baptized at St. Elizabeth parish, Milwaukee, before the family moved to New Berlin in 1965 where he attended Holy Apostles Parish and Grade School, New Berlin, and graduated from New Berlin West High School in 1977. He graduated from Marquette University in 1981 with a degree in theology. He attended Saint Francis de Sales Seminary for graduate theological studies from 1981-'85, earning a master's of divinity. Schuerman was ordained a priest on May 17, 1986, by Weakland, and is serving as pastor of St. Francis de Sales Parish, Lake Geneva, and as supervising priest of Holy Cross Parish in the town of Bristol. "I am deeply humbled by the Holy Father's invitation to serve the faithful of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee as Auxiliary Bishop," Schuerman said in a statement. Schuerman earned a bachelor's of arts from Saint Francis de Sales Seminary College. After attending Saint Francis de Sales Seminary for his first year of theology from 1980 to 1981, he was selected for studies at the University of Innsbruck, Austria, earning his master's of theology. He was associate pastor at St. Anthony Parish, Milwaukee, from 1986 to 1992, then served at La Sagrada Familia, in the Dominican Republic, until 1996. In August 1996, Schuerman enrolled in a graduate program at Chicago Theological Union for returning missionaries where he earned a doctorate in ministry. He joined the faculty of Saint Francis de Sales Seminary as spiritual director and faculty member from 1997 to 2009. In 2009, he became administrator of St. Andrew Parish, Delavan, then pastor at St. Andrew in 2010. From 2011 to 2012, he also served as pastor of St. Patrick Parish, Elkhorn. In 2012, he became pastor of St. Francis de Sales Parish, Lake Geneva. He continues his role in priest formation, serving as adjunct spiritual director for Saint Francis de Sales Seminary. 2 • Milwaukee County Post • January 27, 2017 Volume 23, issue number 4 The Milwaukee Post (ISSN 1544-1776) is published weekly by Conley Media, Milwaukee County 3397 South Howell Ave., Milwaukee, WI 53207 For all departments call: 414-744-6370 News display and advertising FAX: 414-375-7070 Classifieds: 800-762-6219 ext. 5005 Classified Fax: 262-334-6252 For display advertising inquires: 414-744-6370 Barry Richards: Advertising Representative — ext. 13 brichards@conleynet.com Julia LeGath: Advertising Representative — ext. 17 jlegath@conleynet.com Jim Baumgart Advertising Sales Director — 262-513-2621 jbaumgart@conleynet.com For editorial questions: Dan Muckelbauer Editor 262-513-2626 dmuck@conleynet.com POSTMASTER: Send address changes to the Milwaukee Post 3397 S.
