On September 24, Fr. Tom Knoebel, former president-rector of Sacred Heart Seminary and School of Theology, received the Pope Benedict XVI Award for Leadership in Scholarship & Academia from the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. The honor was part of the archdiocese’s annual Vatican II awards, which were established in 1991 to honor people who exemplify the Catholic Church’s vision set forth in the Second Vatican Council.
Fr. Tom, a priest with the Archdiocese of Milwaukee, served at SHSST for many years. He is an emeritus professor of systematic theology, served as vice-rector, and stepped in several times as interim president-rector before being named to the role full-time in 2017. Fr. Tom holds a Ph.D. in theology from Fordham University.
Congratulations Fr. Tom!
