520 2 |a The materials in the Francis J. Haas Collection span Haas's life. The collection includes materials from his family, his time as a seminary student in the early 1900s, and his role as an educator and cleric from the 1920s until his death in 1953. The materials focus most heavily, however, on his role as a public servant in New Deal agencies and as a labor arbitrator in the 1930s and 1940s. Documents related to his role as an administrator at CUA and his ten years as Bishop in Grand Rapids between 1943 and 1953 are scant. The collection includes correspondence, clippings, official organizational reports, press releases, personal meeting notes, lecture notes, sermons, speeches, meeting minutes, photos, research notes, and publication materials. The Collection is divided into four Series: (1) Personal Series, (2) Professional Series, (3) Government Series, and (4) Audio/Visual Series.

545 |a Francis Joseph Haas devoted his life to the Catholic Church and the welfare of workers. Born in Racine, Wisconsin on March 18, 1889, he entered St. Francis Seminary in 1904. Ordained as a priest in 1913, Haas was assigned to Holy Rosary Parish in Milwaukee. In 1919 he left Milwaukee and pursued graduate studies at The Catholic University of America. Haas received his Ph.D. from CUA in 1922. For the next ten years (1922-1931) Haas was assigned to St Francis Seminary and taught at both St. Francis and Marquette University. He moved back to Washington, DC, in 1931 when he was appointed director of the National Catholic School of Social Service. Haas briefly returned to Wisconsin as the Rector of St. Francis Seminary in 1935. Two years later, in 1937, CUA appointed Haas the Dean of the School of Social Science. He continued as the Dean of the School of Social Science until elevated to the Episcopacy of the Diocese of Grand Rapids in 1943. Haas remained the Bishop of Grand Rapids until he died in 1953.
