The past 100 years speaks of the awesome reality that the God of majesty and immensity has bent down in love to meet his people in the Diocese of Bismarck. It is the story of God first calling men and women who lived here for centuries people who were native to this place. It is a story of others who immigrated here bringing a strong faith with the from the old countries to live the faith which they valued so highly. BISHOP PAUL A. ZIPFEL
