Vicars General

To assist Archbishop Jerome Listecki with his role in governance, eight Vicars General have been appointed. Five of the eight, in addition to their other ministry positions, will be assigned specific, geographic territory, namely, two Deaneries each.  The goal is that this will allow parish leaders and Archbishop Listecki, someone closer to the parish level to increase and improve communications, aid in decision-making, and be a conduit between the archbishop and the day-to-day parish life.

The listing of the Deaneries assigned to each Vicar General:

• Bishop Jim Schuerman - Deaneries Dodge/Washington and Fond du Lac/Sheboygan
• Bishop Jeff Haines - Deaneries Ozaukee/Milwaukee Northeast and Milwaukee Northwest
• Very Rev. Javier Bustos - Deaneries Milwaukee Southeast and Milwaukee Southwest
• Very Rev. James Lobacz – Deaneries Racine, Kenosha and Walworth
• Very Rev. Dave Reith – Deaneries Waukesha East and Waukesha West

The following Vicar General, because of other specific responsibilities, will not have a regional assignment:

• Very Reverend Jerry Herda, Vicar for Clergy
