Fr. John Schork
Local Superior, Sacred Heart Community,
Louisville, Kentucky
A vowed Passionist for over 40 years, Fr. John Schork came to know the Passionists while in grade school in Louisville, Kentucky, as part of the St. John Bosco Vocation Club. He went on to the local Passionist high school seminary where his relationship with the Passionists was "cemented." That relationship has animated his life ever since those early days of coming to know the mission of St. Paul of the Cross.
A graduate of Bellarmine University, Fr. John went on to the Catholic Theological Union in Chicago and was ordained to the priesthood in 1976. He currently serves as the local superior of the community in Louisville. He also serves as a member of the Provincial Council.
Ministering at Louisville-area parishes, Fr. John has shared in a variety of duties throughout Holy Cross Province including retreat ministry and parish missions. Fr. John also acts as the local Passionist vocation contact and sits on the board of the Intercommunity Retirement Network for Clergy and Religious.
No doubt, to ponder and live the Passion of Jesus Christ has added true meaning to his everyday life. Fr. John is a living witness to the love of Christ by preaching, performing Sacramental ministries and serving others with true feeling and enthusiasm for his mission.
