Obituary:
Fr. Jerome Schaad, SCJ, treasurer of the U.S. Province of the Priests of the Sacred Heart for almost 30 years, died February 26. He was 62. Originally from Columbus, Ohio, Fr. Schaad professed his first vows with the SCJs in 1957. He received his bachelor's degree from Kilroe Seminary in Honesdale, Penn., did his theological studies at Sacred Heart Monastery in Hales Corners, Wis., and earned a master's in physics from Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C. He was ordained to the priesthood in 1966 at St. Mary's parish in Hales Corners, Wis. From his many years in Finance, Fr. Schaad's name has become synonymous with the Province Treasurer's office. However, before entering that role, he taught math and science, first at Divine Heart Seminary in Donaldson, Ind., and later at Kilroe, where he had received his own undergraduate education. As treasurer, Fr. Schaad served on several corporate boards of directors in the province, including the board of Gregory Productions, which was responsible for the production of The Spitfire Grill. As a board member, Fr. Schaad played an active role in seeing the movie to completion. Proceeds from the production later went to on to fund the building of Sacred Heart School in Mississippi. Fr. Schaad also served for many years on the General Finance Commission for the congregation. His work on the commission took him around world, including the General Conference in Brazil last year, where he delivered a presentation. However, his travels weren't always work related. In 1982, Fr. Schaad celebrated his 25th anniversary of religious life by riding his bike from Hales Corners to Hyder, Alaska. It was the longest of several bicycle journeys that he had taken. "It was a good time to get a lot of prayer in," he said in a Milwaukee Sentinel interview done soon after the ride. "The contact with nature brings to mind your creator." Approximately two years ago, Fr. Schaad was diagnosed with Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia, a rare form of blood cancer. Due to increasing health problems, Fr. Schaad left his duties as province treasurer just this month. He was a member of the Sacred Heart Monastery Community. Funeral Arrangements: Wake: Friday, March 2, 7 p.m. Funeral Mass: Saturday, March 3, 10:30 a.m. (there will be a brief period of time before the Mass for a wake) All arrangements will take place at Sacred Heart Monastery 7335 S. Lovers Lane Road Hales Corners, Wisconsin
