Biography
On May 17, 1985, Haines was ordained to the priesthood. Haines is currently serving as Rector and Pastor of the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist, Milwaukee.

He is respected by fellow clergy and parishioners alike for his pastoral and leadership skills.
After ordination in 1985, Father Haines was appointed Associate Pastor of St. Nicholas in Milwaukee. In 1987, he was given additional responsibilities as Associate Pastor of Holy Redeemer Church in Milwaukee. In 1991, he was appointed Associate Pastor of St. Eugene Parish, Fox Point. In 1996, he was appointed pastor of St. Frances Cabrini Parish in West Bend. He was granted temporary leave to study canon law at Catholic University of America in 2002. However, he returned within the year to become Temporary Administrator of St. Patrick Parish in Whitewater.

Born in Milwaukee to his parents, Jim and Maureen (“Mo”) Haines, Bishop Haines was baptized at St. Elizabeth Parish, Milwaukee, before the family moved to New Berlin in 1965. There, he attended Holy Apostles Parish and Grade School, New Berlin, and graduated from New Berlin West High School in 1977. He began his college studies at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, before transferring and graduating from Marquette University in 1981 with a degree in theology.
