He became friends with the O'Neill family, one of the wealthiest families in Great Lakes City. He was ordained a priest in 1975 by Pope Paul VI after graduating from the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome (while studying there, Vaccara met the future Cardinal Raymond Burke) and returned to the United States shortly after ordination. After his return to the US, he became associate pastor of St. Pius V Catholic Church, an Italian Catholic parish in Great Lakes City. In 1980, Vaccara was promoted to pastor of that same parish.
