Bishop Paul
Swain
This is a month of remembrance and more...
A
s we get older, remembrance becomes more
poignant. In part I suppose
because we cannot be as
active as we once were or
because we have more to remember. The young are today
creating their memories of
tomorrow. We pray they will
be ones of joy and justice, of
love and life, and of faith and
faithfulness.
November is a month of remembrance
– All Saints, All Souls, Veterans Day,
Thanksgiving Day. One reason it is good
to remember is to give us hope about
today and tomorrow encouraged by the
perspective the past teaches. It is also
important to remember the past so that we
will thank God for those who went before,
for the blessings we have received and for
the future opportunities of those who are
creating their future memories.
In this edition of The Bishop’s Bulletin
special attention is given to those who
have and are serving our country in the
defense of freedom around the world with
a generosity of spirit unique to any coun-
take for granted and to help allow others
to enjoy these blessings. Our diocese has a
long and noble history of priests and deacons serving as chaplains to offer the sacraments and spiritual nourishment to those
who serve. How essential is that presence.
How important it is that we support those
who serve, those who have served when
they come home, and offer pastoral support for both and their families.
I served as an intelligence officer in the
US Air Force during the Vietnam War. I
remember vividly my first Christmas in
Vietnam in 1968. We had been forced to
evacuate for a while from our quarters
in downtown Saigon (now Ho Chi Minh
City) because of hostile fire. While the airbase we retired to was safer, there was no
night time because flares would be set off
continually to lighten the sky and therefore allow for reconnaissance of enemy
movements.
Anxious, lonely, uncertain of the future, I
was restless on Christmas Eve and could
not sleep. I decided to attend Catholic
midnight Mass even though I was not a
Catholic at the time. It was held in the
movie theatre on the airbase. My first
memory is of the stale odor of popcorn
and my boots sticking to the floor due to
spilled drinks. That odor was replaced
with the wonderful smell of incense. My
mind was raised up from the mundane by
the glorious music, the quiet of the usually
teeming place, and the soothing chant of
“This is my body. This
is my blood. Do this
in memory of me.”
try in history. We also raise up the importance of the Church through its chaplains
who have and continue to walk with the
men and women in uniform. South Dakota
has a long and noble history of citizens
rising to the occasion to risk life and limb
to preserve our freedoms which we often

Mass. Latin was the language, hope was
the message. The celebrant was Terrance
Cardinal Cooke, of New York who was
also archbishop of the Military Ordinariate at the time.
I have forgotten a lot about my time in
Vietnam, probably for the better. I pray for
those whose memories remain heavy. War
experiences are life changing, directly
and subtly. I wish our national leaders
before they choose to put people, mostly
young, in harm’s way would reflect at
least as much on the impact to persons and
families as they do to global image and
political pressures.
My experience of war is remembered in
part through the lens of that Christmas eve
when a non-Catholic was welcomed and
lifted up along with so many others by a
Catholic chaplain who prayed the words
of the Lord as we do today, “This is my
body. This is my blood. Do this is memory
of me.” I did not receive Holy Communion that night, but surely it set me on the
path to conversion, to ordination, and to
the privilege of standing at the altar and
“doing this in memory of Him.”
Please be generous in your support of
the special collection for the Archdiocese of Military Affairs, and in support
of our diocesan efforts to be present to
active military, to veterans, and their
families. Also be understanding that to
allow chaplains to serve away may mean
less convenient Mass times at home.
Let us give thanks in this month of
remembrance for all the saints, for the
souls in purgatory, for our veterans, for
the veterans in the making, and their
families. Let us especially thank God for
the gift of faith, the gift of the Church
and for the gift of our Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ.
May we do all this: in memory of Him.

ne of the rather unexpected
aspects of deployment to a
combat zone is the amount
of time that is spent laughing
and having fun. Life is rather
different here, there are few of
the entertainments that are taken
for granted back home, so sitting
around and talking and joking is
pretty important.
In many ways, because of the lack of
conveniences and the usual experiences of
daily life, time here can be rather peaceful
and rhythmic. There is a naturalness of the
routines that can even lull me into forgetting
where I am and what is happening around

of a guitar being played and a voice singing

When Father Michael Griffin deployed to Afghanistan a few months
ago, he joined a long and distinguished line of priests from South
Dakota who have served as military
chaplains.
Father Colman O’Flaherty lost his
life serving as a chaplain in World
War I. Msgr. Francis Sampson parachuted in with the 101st Airborne on
D-Day in World War II. And several
diocesan priests served as chaplains
during deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan over the last 20 years.
The power of witnessing the desire
for the sacraments by soldiers in
moments of both calm and crisis is a
common thread in the experience of
most all who have served as chaplains.
“To be with people who desire to
receive the sacraments with great
longing was endearing,” said Father Joseph Holzhauser, pastor of
St. Mary, Aberdeen. “The soldier’s
appreciation for Christ’s presence in
their lives, whether at war or peace,
was always very intense.” Fr. Holzhauser retired several years ago after 26 years of chaplain service to the
National Guard.
Fr. Griffin, pastor of Ss. Peter and Paul, Pierre, became
a National Guard chaplain only recently. And though he
also serves as executive editor of The Bishop’s Bulletin,
he said he finds it difficult to properly express the feelings he has for those with whom he serves.
“I joined the Army with the awareness that I might be
called to serve in deployment. I was aware of the needs
many would have; the need for access to a Chaplain and
the need for the Sacraments. Now that I am in Afghanistan with these men and women, I can say that I will
always honor the time I have spent here, just trying to
love the Soldiers the best I can,” he said.

Father David Krogman spent 10 years as an active duty
chaplain in the Air Force, spending time around the
world including Greenland, Offutt Air Force Base, Omaha and tours in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Spain during
Desert Storm and Desert Calm.
“These were fruitful, enjoyable
years,” said Fr. Krogman, now
Vicar for hospital ministry and
chaplain at Avera facilities in
Sioux Falls. “It was such a pleasure to see so many young adults
value their faith.”
Father David Stevens, pastor of
St. Therese, Sioux Falls, said
The work of the Catholic chaplains
is coordinated through the work of
the Archdiocese for the Military
Services. A special collection to support its work will be coordinated in
the parishes of the Diocese of Sioux
Falls, and around the country, on the
weekends near Veterans Day (see
more information on page 11).
In addition to those quoted and pictured in this story, many other priests
and deacons have served as members
of the military either before ordination or as chaplains during their years
after. Despite the generosity of many
in serving as chaplains, the need for
them is greater than the supply available.

when he became a chaplain candidate while still in the
seminary he had no idea it would lead to 15 years of
experience as a priest chaplain.
“Bishop (now Archbishop Robert) Carlson asked me
to become the first Catholic chaplain of the South
Dakota Air National Guard
and I said “yes” without
fully understanding what
the ministry would entail,”
Fr. Stevens said. “Then the
events of 9-11 happened
that deepened the need of
our men and women serving
to have God in their lives.”

“As a Marine, there were months that went by without
Mass, without the Eucharist and Confession. So, as men
and women in uniform, they are so thankful to just have
a priest,” said Fr. Young, who as a seminarian was cosponsored by the Archdiocese for the Military Services.
Fr. Holzhauser said intense moments are where his
memories are strongest. “In battle there is a firm conversion that continues many times for the rest of their
lives. To be able to minister to whole families was a gift.
Unfortunately there were times of death where it was an
opportunity to reveal the reality of the paschal mystery
that includes hope and resurrection,” he said.
“I was chaplain for two evacuation hospitals, as well
as the Army mortuary, in Saudi Arabia during Desert
Storm,” said Father Denis Meier, now retired and serving as chaplain at Mother of God Monastery, Watertown.
“It was on Easter Sunday morning that we closed down
the mortuary for good. I’ll never forget that feeling of
letting go of two months of death and dying on the very
day we were celebrating Christ’s Resurrection and victory over death. It was such a powerful experience and
symbol for me as a chaplain, never to be forgotten,” said
Fr. Meier.
“Those in uniform, especially in time of war, understand
what Christ says, that we are to lay down our lives for
our friends, like Christ did. What amazes me most is that
my Marines were willing to not only say this - lay down
their lives - but live it, literally willing to risk their life
for me - how humbling,” said Fr. Young.
Father Ken Koster, pastor of parishes in Kranzburg,
Castlewood and Waverly, said of his ten years as a Navy
chaplain, “I served from Iceland to the Indian Ocean and
Japan along with in the US both East and West coasts.
Always I saw people really trying to make themselves,
our nation and the world better for the present and the
future. I feel I am a better person and priest because of
the experience.”
Fr. Stevens said his most unforgettable experience came
in Saudi Arabia. “The fact that Christianity is illegal in
this homeland of
Islam made my
presence all the
more powerful.
Worshipping with
communities that
wanted so badly to
receive the Eucharist that they put
themselves at risk
was humbling for
my faith,” he said.
“I will never forget
these Catholic
communities that
for me were like
the early ChrisFr. Michael Griffin
tians.”
While Veterans Day provides a chance to honor and
thank those who have completed their service, it also is
an opportunity to recognize those still serving.
Said Fr. Griffin, “In a special way, the people of South
Dakota can be rightly proud of the men and women who
serve in the South Dakota National Guard. Their reputation for excellence was established by those who came
before us, and this unit has built upon that solid
foundation.”

Caring for the needs of those who are
serving or who have served happens also in
other ways. Several years ago Bishop Paul
Swain established the St. Raphael Fund to
support military families with needs not
being met in other ways. Donors have been
generous and many families have been
helped through the fund (see story on page
10).
Berakhah House, once home to those with
AIDS who had nowhere else to go, since
2010 has been home for homeless veterans.
Volunteers of America, Dakotas, the Sioux
Falls VA and the diocese have worked
together in creating short-term transitional
housing as an effective tool in addressing
the needs of homeless veterans.
Chris Nelson manages the home for VOA
Dakotas which runs the program. “During
the past 3 years of operations we have
served over 150 Veterans with an 82%
success rate in moving them to permanent
housing,” he said. “The Berakhah House
demonstrates a true community partnership
that includes faith, and government
cooperation in achieving meaningful
outcomes for Veterans.”

families meet needs not supported in other ways. It was
born through the travels and experiences of Bishop Paul
Swain as he came to know eastern South Dakota and
how many families are impacted by someone serving.
While there are a number of fine support services available for military members and their families, sometimes
families can be helped by a particular opportunity to be
together or to be able to communicate with each other,
or attend a retreat, or receive counseling on coping with
the daily stress – and that is where the St. Raphael Fund
can help. Bishop Swain said access to funds quickly and
without strings for these purposes encourages healthy
families and “are a sign of our care for those who serve.”
St. Raphael is the patron saint for the safety of travelers
and for healing – both particular needs of the military
and their families. The fund is administered through
Catholic Family Services and provides a complement to
its existing services to military and their families. Donations can be sent to St. Raphael Fund, 523 N. Duluth
Ave, Sioux Falls, SD 57104. Applications for funds can
be obtained from that address or through pastors at parishes across the diocese.

Testimony from MAJ Martin Yost
196th Maneuver Enhancement Brigade (MEB)
In the past few years the St. Raphael Fund has been a
wonderful tool and support program for our military service members. The military provides support to service
members in many ways but unfortunately due to funding
limitations or rules certain assistance cannot be provided
for support.
The St. Raphael Fund has provided emergency financial
support that the military is not able to provide. When
a service member or their family calls during a time
of need the St. Raphael fund has always been there for
support. Thousands of dollars have been provided to
support families for travel to see a loved one who is need
or travel to loved ones that have been gone for over a
year and due to regulations a visit is not compensated
which places our military members and their families
in financial stress. The ability for a service member to
return home for a short period until their return to duty
is priceless. Words cannot express the gratitude or the
expressions on the spouses and children of our military
families as they hold each other after absence to serve
their country. Without the St. Raphael fund support
these special moments could not happen.
family relief during the terrible loss of everything they
owned. Once again, a huge weight was lifted from the
family and a home was provided.
The St. Raphael Fund has also been a morale booster
for our service members overseas. Items of comfort and
treats have been sent to our service members that are in
harm’s way overseas. As a previous deployed Soldier,
something from home, especially from SD, provided a
lift of personal spirits even though we were thousands of
miles from home.

The St. Raphael Fund also has been instrumental providing financial support to families in need. So many times
the service member leaves home and issues arise in the
home that are unexpected like a broken water heater or
other items that if they are not attended to in a timely
manner the stress to the family and the service member
adds to an already heavy issue. The St. Raphael Fund
has also supported our families in severe times of strife.
A military family did not have a place to live due to a
fire in their home.
The St. Raphael Fund quickly granted funds to the
service member family in a timely basis when no one
else was there to provide a deposit and rent to allow the

family member. The St. Raphael Fund provided financial support to allow an interpreter to provide support at
the unit family event. Without the interpreter the family
member would have not been able to interact as their
family interacted with the unit program and was able to
feel part of the group.

supporters will always be part of our service
members and their families’ lives due to incredible support. Thank you for all you do!
Collection for the Archdiocese for the Military
Services
About 1.8 million Catholics are served through
the work of the Archdiocese for Military Services.
The Archdiocese coordinates the work of Catholic
chaplains for the U.S. Military around the world
and the VA Medical Centers in the U.S., and it
does so without receiving government funding.
Without parishes, the Archdiocese for the Military
Services depends on the generosity of donors to
provide for the men and women of the military access to the sacraments, Catholic formation and the
spiritual guidance of a Catholic chaplain.
This is the first collection for support of the
Military Achdiocese. It will be taken every three
years. The collection will be held in parishes of
the Diocese of Sioux Falls on one of the weekends
near Veterans Day.

The
Church...
Incredible sacrifices are made by service men and women
and their families
when I was a deacon in seminary I had the opportunity to do
my pastoral work at the NATO base in Naples, Italy. It opened
my eyes up to a world I had previously known little about, as I
grew up in a home where none of my immediate family members were serving in the military. What I discovered during
that year of serving the Catholics on base was the incredible
sacrifice made by not only the men and women serving in the
military, but by their families as well.
For these men and women this was all part
of the deal when they signed up to serve
our nation. They knew there would be
deployments and overseas tours of duty,
but it still did not change the fact that it is
never easy to leave your family and home
behind. As Catholics we have the great
reality that wherever there is a Catholic
church or even a Catholic priest, we are
home, for our faith spans time and space.
Thus, when I walked into the chapel on
the base, I too was home. It didn’t matter
what country I was in or what language
the Mass was celebrated in, it is the same
Jesus Christ, yesterday, today and forever. There is something so calming and
reassuring about our sacraments and the
opportunity to receive them on a regular
basis. My time at the base also opened my
eyes to the reality that while our faith is
universal, it still requires a Catholic priest
to offer the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
Thus I became acutely aware of the need
for priests who would be willing to serve
not only their fellow Catholics, but their
country as well, by being a Catholic
chaplain in the military. Those priests who
serve our men and women in uniform
know better than anyone the importance
and power of the Sacraments. Their chapel
is often in the field and they often encounter men and women who have gone weeks
and even months without the Eucharist or
Confession, because there are not enough
priests to go around.
Our Diocese has had a long legacy of
priests who have served a portion of their
priesthood in the military and we continue
to have priests and seminarians who feel
a call to a priesthood shared with our Diocese and the Archdiocese of the Military.
This is one of those sacrifices we make
12
as a local church to serve the larger body.
For those of you who are serving in the
military or have a family member serving,
you know that this sacrifice is more than
worth it.
At the heart of all vocations is the call to
sacrifice our lives for the Lord and each
other. It is not enough for us to simply be
grateful that others are willing to sacrifice
for our Country and our Church. Each
one of us must discover what it is that our
Lord is asking of us for our own lives and
pray for the grace to carry it out. When
we discover our part in the great plan of
salvation we find a peace and confidence
that does not come from this world.
I think about all the priests who have
served our Diocese since its founding
nearly 125 years ago and wonder if I am
truly grateful for what it took to bring the
sacraments to the Plains throughout the
years. I also find myself wondering if I
am truly grateful for the freedoms I enjoy
because men and women were willing to
lay down their lives for something greater
than themselves.
What I discovered, after spending the
year at the military base, is that both our
Country and our Church require men and
women to be willing to sacrifice their lives
for a greater good. The freedoms we enjoy
and the sacraments we celebrate are a direct result of others heeding the call to lay
down their lives for a greater good. While
many of us will not serve in the military
nor be called into the priesthood, each one
of us must ask our Lord how he is calling
us to lay down our lives for him. During
this month of November let us take time
to give thanks to the Lord for the many
blessings we enjoy because others were
willing to sacrifice their lives.

Bishop Paul J. Swain recently celebrated
the White Mass where members of
the medical field were recognized and
thanked for their service. Pictured (at
left, top) are two members of the medical
community bringing the offertory gifts
forward to the bishop. Bishop Swain also
recently celebrated the Blue Mass, held
to honor and pray for those who serve in
law enforcement and as first responders.
Pictured (at left, bottom) Deacon Dennis
Seiner reads the gospel as members of the
Sioux Falls Police Department listen and
contemplate along with other members of
the congregation. The Masses were prayed
at the Cathedral of Saint Joseph, as will be
the Red Mass, honoring and praying for
those in government service, the justice
system and the legal profession. That Mass
will be celebrated November 8 at noon. It
is intended that these Masses will become
annual events for the diocese. (Top photo

The Mitchell area community recently held a public square
rosary crusade in the visitors’ park across from the Corn
Palace. Approximately 66 people attended who prayed for
the nation. (Photo courtesy, Father Michael Schneider, pastor,
Holy Spirit Parish, Mitchell)
The annual public square rosary, sponsored by the Immaculate
Heart of Mary Praesidium of the Legion of Mary, was held at the
McKennan Park east picnic shelter in Sioux Falls. The National
Pilgrim Virgin Statue of Our Lady of Fatima was there as well as
a good sized crowd. The National Pilgrim Virgin Statue of Our
Lady of Fatima is a lovely hand-carved Image of Our Lady of
Fatima given to the United States by the Bishop of Fatima in 1967
and crowned by Patrick Cardinal O’Boyle in the National Basilica
of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C. in 1971. The
Statue was blessed by Pope Paul VI during his visit to Fatima in
1967. The statue comes to the Diocese of Sioux Falls with the
permission of Bishop Paul J. Swain. (Photo courtesy, Mark Weber,

Pope Francis
decides to hold
2014 Lenten retreat away
from the Vatican
Briefs
VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- “As a good Jesuit,” Pope Francis knows it is best not to try
to make a retreat where one lives and works,
so he has decided the annual papal Lenten retreat with Roman Curia officials will be held
outside Rome, a Vatican spokesman said. The
annual retreat will take place March 9-14 at
the Pauline Fathers’ retreat and conference
center in Ariccia, a town about 20 miles
southeast of Rome, said Passionist Father
Ciro Benedettini, vice director of the Vatican
press office. The tradition of having weeklong, preached “spiritual exercises” for the
pope and members of the papal household
began with Pope Pius XI in 1925. For more
than 35 years, it was an Advent, not a Lenten
retreat. Pope John XXIII broke the Advent
tradition in 1962 when he spent a week
in September on retreat to prepare for the
Second Vatican Council. His successor, Pope
Paul VI, made the retreats a Lenten staple
in 1964 and broadened the list of preachers,
who almost always had been Jesuits.
