Deacon Bill Keiper

Pastoral Associate

I was ordained on August 23, 2020, by Bishop John Quinn at the Basilica of St. Stanislaus Kostka. I have been assigned to the parish for a six-year term.

I am a native Winonan. I graduated from Winona State University and Western Technical College.

I was employed as a Radiologic Technologist (X-Ray Tech) at the old Sarnia street Winona Clinic for many years. (If my face seems familiar to you, you probably saw me at the clinic.)

My wife, Chris, and I were married here at St. Mary's Parish. We have two adult children who live out of state. I am a convert and went through the RCIA program and joined St. Mary's Parish in 1997. (Five of the eleven new deacons in our diocese are converts.) I am a member of the 4th degree Knights of Columbus.

In my free time I like to read about history. I especially like reading about the air war in World War II. I like working on and restoring classic cars and motorcycles and also refinishing old furniture.
