I was born to Helen (Bartkus) and Joseph Yadron on October 30, 1956, the third of four boys and lived in Griffith, Indiana.
Upon receiving my M.Div. (Master's of Divinity) from St. Mary of the Lake Seminary, I was ordained a priest in May of 1983. My first assignment was as an instructor at Bishop Noll Institute in Hammond, Indiana and as an Associate Pastor at St. John Bosco Church, also in Hammond.
In 1985, while continuing to teach at Bishop Noll, I was assigned as the chaplain of the Carmelite Home for Boys in Hammond.
At the end of that third school year, I was transferred to Holy Trinity Church in Gary as the administrator of the parish. In December of that same year (1986), I was named the pastor of Holy Trinity Church. I spent five years at Holy Trinity and then was sent to prison...
... AS A CHAPLAIN. I was a chaplain at Indiana State Prison in Michigan City for three years before being assigned to St. Maria Goretti in Dyer, Indiana in July of 1994.
It was at St. Maria Goretti that I -- already a confirmed computer addict, bbs junkie (I ran "Lighthouse BBS" for 10 years) and beta software tester (Telegard, Blue Wave, The SemWare Editor) -- became a serious internet junkie as well. I was amazed at the amount of information available to us on "the net".
In July of 1996, I was named pastor to Queen of All Saints in Michigan City, Indiana and it was there that I began to explore the possibility of web pages. I put much parish and school information on the web site for Queen of All Saints.
On July 1, 2003, I became the pastor of St. Thomas More Parish and in September of 2004, we began a new chapter of web pages for the parish. Email me if you have any suggestions for these web pages. Thanks for taking the time to read this!
