Welcome Fr. Stanley Mader
I am Fr. Stan Mader, and I am the new pastor of St. John the Baptist inVermillion, St. Mary's in New Trier, and St. Matthias in Hampton. I'm
excited about the ministry I am called to do here. Please just call me Fr. Stan.
I am 53 years old, and was ordained a priest on May 30, 1992. Many of
you may know Fr. Mike Tix, Hampton, is a classmate and friend of mine.
I grew up on a small dairy farm near St. Bonifacius, Minnesota. My father
was also a full-time carpenter. I am the fourth of seven children, and have
sixteen nieces and nephews. Our farm is still in the family, although both
of my parents have died in the past four years. I attended Catholic
schools throughout, in St. Boni, Waverly, and graduated from Winsted
Holy Trinity High School in 1974. I earned a BA in Mathematics from St.
John's University in 1978. For the next ten years I was a system software
specialist on large mainframe computers. Six of those years were with
Burroughs Corporation (now Unisys), and for four years I had my own
computer consulting business. For years I had considered the priesthood,
and in 1988 I was accepted into the seminary to study for priesthood for
the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis.
I have been a priest for 17 years now. My first two years were at St. Joseph in
Hopkins. Then I had a dual assignment of co-director of the Vocation Office
for the Archdiocese while serving as associate pastor at St. Mark's in St. Paul.
For the past eleven years I have been pastor at Our Lady of the Lake Church
in Mound, which has about 1250 families and a school.
I have many interests: I enjoy traveling - I have led trips to the Holy Land,
Italy, Fatima and Lourdes, and Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
Through business and pleasure trips I have been able to visit all the lower
48 states, and have been in 20 countries. I love baseball, and have
attended the Minnesota Twins Baseball Fantasy Camp in Fort Myers
seven times while on staff there as their chaplain. I count several former
Twins among my friends. I enjoy hiking and have done a small amount of
river kayaking, rock climbing and dogsledding in the past. I have far too
many books, enjoy teaching, and especially sharing our faith with others.
I love being a priest, and am eager to learn from you and serve you.
In the week I have been on site, I have met many kind and talented people
who truly care about their parishes. Thank you to all who have already
invited me to your homes. I enjoy being with people, and try to be
present to them. People have suggested I tell them I like almost any food
except tuna, salmon and chicken salad. I look forward to getting to
know all of you.
With three parishes I will be on the run, but will try to be found
Mondays and Tuesday mornings at St. Mathias in Hampton, Tuesday
afternoons and Wednesdays at St. John's in Vermillion, and Fridays at St.
Mary's in New Trier. My cell phone is often off (during liturgies,
meetings and counseling) but the number is 952-212-7826. In case of
emergencies of death or someone dying, please page me at 651-532-0052,
and enter a phone number where I can reach you. Again, I am looking
forward to meeting you!
