Father Chuck grew up in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, where his 88-year-old father still lives. He makes weekly trips to visit his father, who lives on his own, shovels his own snow and cuts his own lawn. He also has two sisters who live in the Fond du Lac area. Father Chuck graduated from Goodrich High School in Fond du Lac, and served in the U.S. Army. He earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in philosophy, and Master of Theology degree from St. Francis Seminary in Milwaukee. He subsequently earned his Master of Social Work from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. He currently is serving as chair of the Archdiocesan Wellness Council for Priests.

Among his special interests in ministry are preaching and presiding (look for his trademark yellow legal pad containing his homily notes), counseling and adult formation. He also is devoted to promoting a parish climate conducive to maximizing individual potential and team work. His leadership style is to get to know people through informal opportunities as well as through official structures. "I like to help people to think. You may not always agree with my point of view but if we can have a thoughtful discussion, I feel we have been successful."

On a personal level, Father Chuck is an avid reader. He's dedicated to his regular exercise regimen, and also likes movies and relaxing with friends and family.

The St. Mary's community means a great deal to me and I feel honored to be able to give back and share in the faith that I have been given.

I have been transformed through my participation and willingness to say "yes" to the many invitations I have received by being present to the St. Mary's Faith Community. I look forward to representing the Community with my background and passions in Faith Formation, Just Faith, Prison Ministry, Haiti, and Social Justice. I come before you on Parish Council to act on my calling to "Make a difference in the world" as we are all invited to do. I welcome your concerns as I represent you - the middle pew.

Clint Lester

Clint has been a member of St. Mary Catholic Faith Community since 2006.  He and his wife Jennifer were married in 2003 and after moving to Greendale in 2006, they quickly discovered that St. Mary was the right place for them.  In 2011 they welcomed their first child, Norah, to their family.  He enjoys spending time with family and friends, running a half-marathon each year, and playing in a summer golf league.

Having been a member of the St. Mary conference of St. Vincent de Paul since 2009, and volunteering at the Parish Festival since 2010, Clint saw joining Parish Council as an opportunity to become more involved in the inner workings of the parish, and allowing him to offer insight and ideas from someone relatively new to the St. Mary community.  The experience of joining Parish Council has been tremendously rewarding:  deepening his faith and love for God, strengthening his relationship with his fellow Council members, and ensuring to the best of his abilities that the Parish continues to be one of the most giving and caring in the diocese.
