Robert Schmidt was born on June 15, 1931 in Ottumwa, Iowa, a son of Clarence and Grace (Wrenn) Schmidt. He graduated from St. Ambrose College in Davenport in 1953 and was accepted into Mt. St. Bernard Seminary in Dubuque. Father Schmidt was ordained on June 1, 1957 by Bishop Hayes at Sacred Heart Cathedral. He earned his masters’, an education specialist degree and a Ph.D. at the University of Iowa, and did graduate studies at the University of Notre Dame. He served the Davenport Diocese at St. Boniface-Clinton, Assumption High School, Davenport, Mercy School of Nursing, Iowa City, Carmelite Monastery, Bettendorf, Sacred Heart, Lost Nation, St. James, Toronto, St. Andrew, Blue Grass, and his last assignment as Pastor of St. Anthony’s, Davenport, where he retired from in 2006. However, Monsignor’s most rewarding experience was serving as a Catholic school teacher and administrator. He served as the diocesan superintendent of schools for 27 years from 1970 until 1997. Msgr. Schmidt also served as Vicar for Priests in the diocese and held other leadership positions. He also served on the State of Iowa Social Work Examiners Board and as the National Vice President of the Holy Childhood Association as well as director of our diocesan Holy Childhood Association, an organization that he took great pride in helping.
