In 1965, he earned a Doctor of Sacred Theology degree with a dissertation entitled “The teaching function of the Pre-exilic Israelite priesthood.”[2]After returning to Wisconsin in 1965, Sklba performed weekend pastoral work at St. Veronica Parish[4] in Milwaukee, and taught scripture at St. Francis Seminary for the next 11 years.[2]Auxiliary Bishop of Milwaukee[edit]On November 6, 1979, Pope John Paul II appointed Sklba as an auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee and titular bishop of Castro di Puglia.[1] He was consecrated on December 19, 1979 by Archbishop Rembert Weakland, with Archbishops William Cousins and Robert Sanchez serving as co-consecrators.[1]Sklba has been a member of the Catholic Biblical Association of America since 1968 and was named its president in 1982.[2]In 1998, Sklba delivered a eulogy[5] at the funeral of Lawrence Murphy, an archdiocese priest. In the eulogy, Sklba alluded to good work done by Murphy, but stated that “some shadows had been cast on his ministry”.  Before his death, Murphy had admitted to sexually abusing 30 students at St. John’s School for the Deaf in St. Francis, Wisconsin, and was suspected in 200 additional cases. Critics accused Sklba of grossly understating Murphy’s crimes against children.[6][7][8]From 2005 to 2008, Sklba served as chair of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ (USCCB) Committee on Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs. In this capacity, following Pope Benedict XVI’s reformulation of the Good Friday prayer for the Jews in the Tridentine Mass, Sklba stated: “Central to the concerns of the Holy Father is the clear articulation that salvation comes through faith in Jesus Christ and his church. It is a faith that must never be imposed but always freely chosen. The Catholic Church in the United States remains steadfastly committed to deepening its bonds of friendship and mutual understanding with the Jewish community.”[9]On October 18, 2010, Benedict XVI accepted Sklba’s letter of resignation as auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee.[1]See also[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]ArchbishopsAuxiliaryBishopsChurchesListList of churches in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of MilwaukeeCathedralCathedral of St. John the EvangelistBasilicasBasilica of St. Josaphat, MilwaukeeHoly Hill National Shrine of Mary, Help of Christians, HubertusParishesSt. John Vianney Church, BrookfieldSt. John the Baptist Church, JohnsburgGesu Church, MilwaukeeHoly Trinity Church, MilwaukeeOld St. Mary’s Church, MilwaukeeSt. Adalbert’s Church, MilwaukeeSt. Hedwig’s Church, MilwaukeeSt. Stanislaus Church, MilwaukeeSt. Patrick’s  Church, MilwaukeeSaints Peter and Paul Church, MilwaukeeSt. Vincent de Paul Church, MilwaukeeSt. Mary’s Church, Port WashingtonSt. Patrick’s Church, RacineSt. Joseph’s Church, WaukeshaFormerSt. John of God Church, KewaskumSt. Patrick’s Church, AdellSt. Augustine Church, TrentonChapelSt. Joan of Arc Chapel, MilwaukeeShrineArchdiocesan Marian ShrineEducationHigher EducationAlverno CollegeCardinal Stritch UniversityMarian UniversityMarquette UniversityMount Mary UniversitySeminariesSaint Francis de Sales SeminarySacred Heart School of TheologyHigh SchoolsBurlington Catholic Central High School, BurlingtonCatholic Memorial High School, WaukeshaCristo Rey Jesuit High School, MilwaukeeDivine Savior Holy Angels High School, MilwaukeeDominican High School, Whitefish BayMarquette University High School, MilwaukeeMessmer High School, MilwaukeePius XI High School, MilwaukeeSt. Anthony High School, MilwaukeeSt. Catherine’s High School, RacineSt. Joan Antida High School, MilwaukeeSt. Joseph Catholic Academy, Kenosha (previously as St. Joseph High School)St. Lawrence Seminary High School, Mt.
