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. God willing, I will be ordained a 505 Third Street East, Dickinson, ND 58601 priest for the Diocese of Bismarck next summer with my three classmates. 701-225- 3972 Email: [email protected] stwenceslausnd.com facebook.com/stwencnd During these crazy COVID times, I am grateful to have met some of the fine families of St. Wenceslaus parish.
