Fr. Aaron Laskiewicz
Pastor

I am blessed to have been raised in a Catholic family. Ever since childhood, going to church, saying my prayers, and being a good Christian were very important. I was also blessed to have so many good examples in my life of how to live our call to holiness. This was really meaningful to me as I discovered my desire to become a priest. In fact, I wanted to become a priest ever since first grade. Since then, it has been all I have ever known.

My family and friends have been supportive along with my home parish, St. John Paul II, on Milwaukees south side. One of the most influential figures in bolstering my faith, is my home parish pastor, Fr. Mike Ignaszak, who has been and still is, a great friend and mentor. Over the years of my formation, I have learned a lot about myself, and God, but one of the best things has been realizing more and more how active God is in my daily life.

Sybil Grandeck
Archivist

Sybil serves as the St. Mary Archivist - a continuation of her duties while employed in the Parish Office years ago. She researches inquiries from people interested in their families connection with St. Mary, usually commencing with a question if an ancestor is among the 1100+ burials in our historic cemetery. These initial inquiries lead to tracing families for generations and often finding formerly unknown connections.

Among the major projects Sybil initiated and maintains is the indexing of all available sacramentary records from 1844 to the present day and completing the index of our cemetery for the Archdiocese. She also serves as a Eucharistic Minister, weekday lector, parish festival worker, and Prayer Shawl minister. She especially enjoys spending time with her husband, Michael E. Jedrzejewski, their cat, friends, raising Monarch butterflies, and gardening. She highly encourages you to see our Archive Case near the Information Center for a presentation of historic items and a very interesting chronicle of our wonderful Church.

I have been an educator in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee for over 35 years serving as teacher and principal at both the elementary and high school levels. I also taught in the undergraduate and graduate programs at Alverno College. I am proud of the strong reputation I have built for maintaining high standards and expectations when it comes to quality curriculum, engaging instruction, effective assessment, and successful professional development.

Family is very important to me. I enjoy spending time with my wife, Juliann, our four adult children and three grandchildren. I also very much enjoy running, landscaping, reading, and working on various small projects around the house.
