Fr. Paddack had previously been academic dean at St. Joseph´s by-the-Sea for four years, in addition to teaching French and Spanish at the school. After working as a lay teacher for several years in the Bronx, he was ordained a priest of the Archdiocese of New York in 1984.
Before working at St. Joseph´s, Fr. Paddack taught at Cardinal Hayes High School and St. Helena´s High School, both in the Bronx. A Counseling Psychologist with a background in crisis management, his skills have been put to good use since last year after September 11.
Fr. Paddack has acquired numerous qualifications to prepare him for the position. A professional diploma in supervision and administration from St. John´s University, together with master´s degrees in counseling psychology, Theology, French philosophy and literature, continued his education beyond a bachelor´s degree in modern languages and philosophy from Fordham University.
He was appointed to a three year term by Cardinal Egan although this is usually extended.
