Fifth graders attend Mass with Bishop Nickless
By MICHELLE DELANEY
Globe staff reporter
Every pew in the Cathedral of the Epiphany was packed full of students either in their Sunday best or their school uniform. It’s not every day that each fifth grade class from Catholic schools in the diocese travel to Sioux City, but for the fifth year, Bishop Walker Nickless has gathered everyone for a special Mass.
For many of the students, this was their first time visiting the Cathedral. So, before the Mass began, the eager fifth graders were able to have questions about the Cathedral answered. They asked many questions about the statues in the Cathedral, the bishop’s chair and the organ. They even were graced with a special organ solo.

BANCROFT – The St. John the Baptist School community came together to thank God for the blessings “that have come to us and so many others from St. John the Baptist School,” said Bishop Walker Nickless during the closing Mass for the school.
“Thank you for all the efforts that you have put together to celebrate this Mass today,” he said.”

A little over a year ago, St. Joseph Parish in Le Mars broke ground for a new church and since that time much progress has been made.
According to Father Kevin Richter, pastor, “The project is right on schedule. Our dedication date has been set for Oct. 21 and I think we will comfortably hit that. Both the architect and the general contractor have commented that things are going extremely well.”
