THETHE BULLETINBULLETIN 505 3rd St. East The Saint Wenceslaus Catholic Church Bi-Weekly Mailed Bulletin Publication Dickinson, ND 58601 May 18, 2020 A GUEST ARTICLE... Parishioners of St. Wenceslaus, What a joy it has been for me to be the seminarian of your parish for the summer! I came to the parish on Holy Thursday, and I will remain here until I leave for Rome in September. Since we have begun to reopen parishes around the diocese, I thought it may be nice to introduce myself. I was born and raised in Torrington, WY by my parents, Leland and Mary Ann Vetter. My father is from Emmons County, and he is the oldest brother of Bishop Austin Vetter. My mother grew up around Menoken, ND, and she ÁCLAVE, ORODUJ NÁSZA is the oldest sister of Monsignor Thomas Richter and Father David Richter. V As a quick summary, these three priests played a major part in my own Ý vocation and desire to join the Diocese of Bismarck. My brother, Steven Saint Wenceslaus, Pray us! for Saint Wenceslaus, Vetter, and Joseph Richter, who is newly accepted as a seminarian for the Diocese of Bismarck, are seminarians. Our family has been blessed with SVAT vocations to the priesthood. In January of 2014, I started seminary in Washington, D.C. at St. John Paul II Seminary. After receiving my bachelor degree in philosophy from the Catholic University of America in 2017, I was sent by Bishop Kagan to SAINT WENCESLAUS Rome for theological formation at the Pontifical North American College. I CATHOLIC CHURCH will be finishing my masters degree in theology this June, and I will be ordained a deacon on October 1st in Rome.

Two new priests ordained The sacred brotherhood that is the priesthood gained two more on June 11 as Fr. Dominic Bouck and Fr. Jarad Wolf were ordained at the Cathedral of the Holy Spirit on the Feast of St. Barnabas, the Apostle. The faithful packed the main sanctuary to witness the two men as Bishop Kagan extended his hands over the men permanently changing their souls, drawing them into the most intimate union any man can enjoy with Christ. During the Rite of Ordination, Bishop Kagan anointed each man’s hands saying, “The Lord Jesus Christ, whom the Father anointed with the Holy Spirit and power, guard and preserve you that you may sanctify the Christian people and off er sacrifi ce to God.” The priest’s hands are anointed in order to sanctify the Christian people. The priest is confi gured to Jesus Christ, our great High Priest, by his sacerdotal ordination. This brings about a new relationship with Christ and to His Church. Ordination so joins the priest to Christ that he acts in Newly-ordained Fr. the person of Christ the Head of the Church; so that Christ’s saving Dominic Bouck gives his fi rst blessing as a work may be eff ective in our day. The priest becomes a mediator of priest to Bishop Kagan.

Zipfel, Bishop Emeritus died peacefully Sunday, July 14 at a nursing home in St. Louis while under the care of hospice after an extended and debilitating struggle with Alzheimer’s disease. He was 83 years old. His approachable and authentic nature will be how Bishop Zipfel will be remembered during his time as our chief shepherd. Few people ever forgot an encounter with him and his infectious, ever- present smile. We devote this issue of the Dakota Catholic Action to Bishop Zipfel and the gifts he left through his priests, the Catholic schools, his employees and, you, the faithful people of the diocese. Upon his arrival in Bismarck, he stated emphatically, “I tell you that my acceptance of this call is unconditional—in other words, with my whole heart.” And, that is what we remember about our beloved shepherd from some of his very fi rst words—his deep and unconditional love for the people of God. Bishop Zipfel, having been born and raised in the Midwest, understood the vibrant culture of hearty North Dakotans, blending right in with the traditions of food, friendship and fellowship. He was vocations and Catholic education. as comfortable in offi cial meetings His commitment to assigning as he was entertaining a crowd young priests to be chaplains with his impromptu magic tricks. and teach in our Catholic schools The native of Missouri had spent turned around our entire focus to his entire life near the city of St.
