Fr. Schneider’s formational journey began six years ago when he transferred from the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, where he was studying quantitative economics, to the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, to study philosophy at St. John Vianney College Seminary. After earning his Bachelor of Arts degree in 2013, he entered the St. Paul Seminary, where he earned a Master of Divinity Degree before priestly ordination.
“It is a blessed day because God is so good. I am humbled by the amazing support of all the lay faithful, priests, and bishops of both the Diocese of Superior and AMS. I look forward to serving in both northern Wisconsin and the Navy,” Fr. Schneider said.
