Deacon Dave Sattler

Permanent Deacon

I am a native of Toledo, Ohio. I graduated from the University of Toledo with a B.S. in electrical engineering and came to the Chicago area in 1970 to take a job. I met my wife, Terry, here. We have been married 43 years and have five children and seven grandchildren. Terry and I entered diaconate formation in 1983, and I was ordained a deacon in 1986. We have served in this parish ever since. I left the corporate world in 2001 and attended Loyola University fulltime for two years, graduating in 2003 with a Master of Arts in Pastoral Studies. After a year’s CPE residency, I worked 11 years as a chaplain at Alexian Brothers Medical Center in Elk Grove Village, retiring in 2015. Terry and I have been at St. Peter Damian over 40 years, and we both look forward to continuing to serve here.
