                                Bishop of Pittsburgh
   

   Bishop David A. Zubik was born September 4, 1949, in    Sewickley, Pennsylvania, to Stanley and the late Susan    (Raskosky) Zubik. He attended Saint Stanislaus Elementary School and Saint    Veronica High School, both in Ambridge, before entering Saint Paul Seminary
   in Pittsburgh. He received an undergraduate degree at Duquesne University in    1971 and went on to study at Saint Mary Seminary and University in Baltimore,    Maryland, where he earned a degree in theology in 1975.

   Bishop Zubik was ordained a priest on May 3, 1975, by Bishop Vincent M.    Leonard at Saint Paul Cathedral in Pittsburgh. Bishop Zubik served as    Parochial Vicar of Sacred Heart Parish, Shadyside, until 1980. He was then    assigned as Vice Principal of Quigley Catholic High School in Baden as well as    Chaplain of the Sisters of Saint Joseph Motherhouse and Chaplain to the    students at Mount Gallitzin Academy. At the same time, he began graduate    studies at Duquesne University where he earned a master’s degree in    education administration in 1982. He served in the role of adjunct spiritual    director at Saint Paul Seminary from 1984 through 1991 and associate
   spiritual director at Saint Vincent Seminary, Latrobe, from 1989 through 1996.

   In 1987, Bishop Zubik was appointed Administrative Secretary to then-    Pittsburgh Bishop Anthony J. Bevilacqua (now retired Cardinal of Philadelphia).    In 1988, he was appointed Administrative Secretary and Master of Ceremonies    to then-Pittsburgh Bishop Donald W. Wuerl (now Archbishop of Washington,    DC), where he served until 1991 when he began his service as Director of    Clergy Personnel.

   In 1995, he was named Associate General Secretary and Chancellor of the    Diocese of Pittsburgh, and on January 1, 1996, became Vicar General and    General Secretary—a position in which he served until his appointment to the    Diocese of Green Bay.

   Bishop Zubik was consecrated a bishop on April 6, 1997, at Saint Paul    Cathedral and was appointed auxiliary bishop to the Diocese of Pittsburgh.
   In addition, he served as Bishop Wuerl’s personal representative to the    Administrative Board of the Pennsylvania Catholic Conference and was a    member of the Executive Committee of the Pennsylvania Catholic Conference.    He was also President of the Diocesan Finance Council and President of the    Catholic Institute of the Diocese of Pittsburgh. Currently, Bishop Zubik is a    member of the Board of Regents at Saint Vincent Seminary, Latrobe as well as    the Board of Directors of the Urban League of Pittsburgh, the United Way of    Greater Pittsburgh and the Sister Thea Bowman Foundation.

   Bishop Zubik served on the Duquesne University Board of Directors and the    Duquesne University Academic Affairs Committee. He was also Chaplain to the    Sisters of the Holy Spirit in Ross Township, where he was in residence before    coming to Green Bay. On the national level, Bishop Zubik was a member of the    United States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Committee on Priestly Life and    Ministry as well as the Bishop’s Committee on Priestly Formation.
