Father Jaime Zarse

Five years ago, Our Lord brought me to Nemaha County in hopes of transforming me into a country poser. Five years later, I find myself drinking bourbon slush out of a Menard's three gallon bucket. Mission Accomplished! 

Growing up our family moved nine times before high school. This combined with a passion for competitive athletics accounts for most of the story of my life prior to my conversion in college. Seven years later, I was ordained to the priesthood of Jesus Christ for the Archdiocese of KCK. The priesthood has been the greatest adventure of my life.

My Working Geniuses: Galvanizing and Enablement

Charisms: Hospitality and Encouragement

My Patron Saint: Our Lady, the Mother of God - after Our Lord, no one else is necessary.

Father Zarse is now the pastor of Sacred Heart Parish in Shawnee, Kansas.
