Monsignor Stanley E. Schinski, age 85 of Wayne passed peacefully on Thursday, October 31, 2013. He was born in Hackensack, the son of the late Rose and John Schinski, and lived most of his life in Wayne.

Father Schinski received his formal education at Pope Pius XII High School in Passaic graduating with the class of 1944, he then went on to Saint Mary’s College in Orchard Lake, Michigan graduating with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in English. He then went to Immaculate Conception Seminary in Darlington, NJ and graduated with the class of 1951. He was ordained on May 19, 1951 as a priest in the Roman Catholic Church.

His first assignment was as the assistant priest at Saint Stephen’s RC Church on Martin Street in Paterson where he served from 1951 to 1963. He then was transferred to Saint Joseph’s RC Church on Monroe Street in Passaic where he served from 1963 to 1966. He also taught at DePaul High School in Wayne and at the same time was assistant priest at Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Church in Wayne under Father Ducas who was the founding priest of the Annunciation Parish. At Father Ducas’ passing Father Schinski became the parish priest at Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Parish where he served for forty-one years. In 1970 he was elevated to Monsignor Stanley E. Schinski.

When asked what brought him to the priesthood he would say that it came within him, as an inner dream from the age of fourteen that he wanted to be a priest. Anyone who knew him over the years would agree that he was a very gifted and loving priest.

For many years he was the Moderator for the Nocturnal Adoration Society for all parishes in Wayne.

He was the loving brother of the late Leonard, Martin, and Joseph Schinski; loved uncle of Cecelia Van Emburg and her husband John of Delanco, NJ, Judith Fulton and her husband David of Delanco, NJ, the late Steven Schinski and his surviving wife Ann of NY State. He was the loving friend of many years to Robert and Mary Ann Scharf and their daughter Stacy.

In lieu of flowers memorial donations to Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Church, 45 Urban Club Road, Wayne, NJ 07470 would be appreciated.
