In the Rite of Candidacy, the church formally recognizes the seminarian as being worthy of being ordained a priest. During the Rite of Candidacy there are two main promises that Robert made to Bishop Gruss. “In response to the Lord’s call, are you resolved to com plete your preparation so that in due time, you will be ready to be ordained for the ministry of the church?” “Are you resolved to prepare yourself in mind and spirit to give faithful service to Christ the Lord and his body, the church?” Robert responded “I am” to both questions. Bishop Gruss responded to Robert’s yes with these words: “The church receives your declaration with joy. May God who has begun the good work in you bring it to fulfillment.” Bishop Gruss is pictured with Kinyon. The seminarian will begin Theology I this fall.(Courtesy photos)

N. 2018-0003 The Catholic Church of Our Lady of Victory, Plainview, is located in Meade County on the prairies of South Dakota.
