Our Sacred Heart Priests and Deacons

Rev. Jerry Kaywell - Pastor
Presbyteral Council Member
Ordained: October 25, 1991 in Venice, FL

Father Jerry was a professional musician, composer and producer of television and film before his ordination to the priesthood.  He has two great passions in life: God and music – in that order.  Father Jerry is experiencing a wholeness of being in his priesthood beyond what he ever hoped for.  Striving to love God above all continues to be his daily enterprise – and neighbor as well as self – is his gospel rule of life.
