Looking forward to upcoming visits
During the month of August, I am enjoying my first visits to the parishes that make up our diocese. Coming from a northern forest and lakes region it has been fascinating for me to take in the beauty of the prairie with its wide open spaces and the rugged heights of the Black Hills. My encounters with our clergy and people have been warm and welcoming and I sense that the faith is strong in our local church. I look forward to visiting all the regions of the diocese and experiencing local community and parish life in the weeks ahead. Please know that I offer prayers daily and Masses weekly for all of you and your intentions. May God continue to open our hearts and minds to his saving will and may Our Blessed Mother continue to wrap us in her mantle of love and protection.

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
I am so grateful to God for the call to become the 9th Bishop of Rapid City. What a beautiful place this is and what a warm welcome I have received from you! Of course, this is all new to me so I have much to learn from you about what God has been doing in this local church. I promise to keep you in my daily prayers and ask that you do the same for me. If our prayers are sincere God will make our lives pleasing and fruitful in building up his kingdom.
Our Lady of Perpetual Help, pray for us.
