Permit me to share a bit about myself.  I was raised on a farm near Pisek, North Dakota, where I went to school and until I entered seminary at Cardinal Muench/NDSU and then to major seminary at Mount Saint Mary’s in Emmitsburg, Maryland.  I also had the honor of serving in the Navy for a brief time. I was ordained with Father Hickin in 1997.  I was stationed at St. Anthony’s in Fargo upon my ordination.   Following that, I went to St. Joachim (Rolla)/Sacred Heart (Hansboro)/Immaculate Heart (Rock Lake) in 1999.  In 2002, I was asked to do further studies in Rome in Canon Law.  Upon my arrival home in 2007, I was appointed to Tribunal work at the Diocese of Fargo and pastoral work at Sts. Anne and Joachim (Fargo).  In 2008, I was appointed to St. Benedict Church of Wild Rice and St. Maurice in Kindred. After twelve years, it is time for a new walk. 
 
I am still trying to find my way around the house, organizing my life and thoughts.  Be patient with me as I look forward to becoming acquainted with you all.  Please keep Father Hickin and me in prayer as we transition into our new assignments. 
 
We are all trying to find our way as we navigate a Covid-19 world.  I realize everyone has to decide for him/herself what level risk with which they are willing to live.  When everything shut down in March, I established a YouTube channel to help parishioners see a familiar face and place.  I have used the channel primarily to record the weekend Mass.  Feel free to do a search for Jared Kadlec on YouTube.  I hope to do a recording this weekend for those who are unable to join us at St. Mark’s and St. Andrew’s.   Also, I can be reached via:
