Parochial Vicarfr.dshinedol-in.orgMy name is Father Daniel Shine and I will be your new parochial vicar/ associate pastor (You’ll often hear both titles but it’s the same role). I prefer to go by Father Shine. I have been a priest for five years now and began my ministry in Anderson at St. Mary and St. Ambrose. This past year I was assigned to St. Boniface in Lafayette. I am very much looking forward to joining all of you.
I grew up on the North side of Indianapolis and Westfield attending Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. I went to Bishop Chatard High School and spent two years at Purdue studying history before leaving for seminary. I spent all six years of seminary at Mount St. Mary’s in Emmitsburg, Maryland.
My role in the pastorate is to help Fr. Dekeyser in his work as our pastor. I am very excited to get to know you all, to pray with you, and to hopefully become holier with you all.
