 Father
Spalding was born in Marshfield, WI in 1919 and attended St.
Mary's High School in Menasha. He was ordained by Bishop Stanislaus
Bona in 1945. In 1963 he was appointed founding Pastor of
Resurrection Parish and oversaw the formation and construction
of the Church and School. He served the members of Resurrection
for ten years and provided the foundation of the strong faith
community that exists today. Known for his generosity, kindness,
and dry sense of humor, he left a lasting mark wherever he
served. In addition to his work at Resurrection, he was involved
in building projects for the mission at St. Martin, Cecil,
and at St. Francis Solanus Parish in Gresham. He also served
as Director of Catholic Charities and created an endowment
to support their work with money left to him by his parents.
