Nearly 1000 people, including our family and many friends, gathered at
St. Joseph's Cathedral, Sioux Falls, South Dakota to celebrate the
ordination to the priesthood of our son Kevin and 3 of his colleagues.
The joyful, emotional occasion marked the grand finale of 8 years of
study for Kevin. His first parish assignment is at Holy Spirit Parish,
Sioux Falls. We are happy to have him closer to home.
As Jeff Norfolk looks on, Bishop Paul J. Swain anoints Kevin's hands
with chrism oil. This group of men were the first that Bishop Swain had
ordained.
How blessed we were to have our family around us to celebrate with us.
Back: Ralph Zieger (Peg's father), Seth, Peg, Kevin, Don, Wesley, Cody,
Barb Zieger (Peg's mother).
Front: John & Dorothy Zilverberg.
Cody & Wesley spent from mid-May until mid-June with us. Cody helped
with ranch work and also spent time via the internet on his job with the
Borlaug Institute in the international ag office at Texas A&M in College
Station, Texas. He's working on an agricultural project in Iraq. Wesley
spent most of her time studying for the MCAT which is the entrance exam
for medical school. She will be taking that in August in San
Antonio.
Seth got in some relaxation on the living room floor during our big
ordination weekend.
