Jerome Edward Listecki (born March 12, 1949) is an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church who currently serves as Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee, Wisconsin since 2010.
Previously Archbishop Listecki served as an auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Chicago (2001–2004), and as the Bishop of the Diocese of La Crosse (2004–2009).
Jerome Listecki was born in Chicago and raised on the Southeast Side. His father (d. 1986) owned a tavern before working as a bus driver for the Chicago Transit Authority. Jerome received his early education at the parochial school of St. Michael the Archangel Church before attending Quigley Preparatory Seminary South, from where he graduated in 1967. He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Saint Joseph College Seminary in 1971, and completed his theological studies at St. Mary of the Lake Seminary (in Mundelein, Illinois). During his summers as a seminarian, he worked in a blast furnace centering plant in the US Steel mills near Chicago.
Listecki was ordained to the priesthood by Cardinal John Cody on May 14, 1975.
