Justin McCarty, a seminarian for the Diocese of Sioux City, took a step closer to the priesthood on July 18 as he formally declared his desire to become a candidate for the sacrament of holy orders during a rite that was led by Bishop R. Walker Nickless.
“Today is a special day in the life of the Diocese of Sioux City and it’s a special day for you at this parish,” the bishop said.
The special rite was held during the 10:30 a.m. Mass at St. Joseph Parish in Hartley.
Bishop Nickless pointed out that Justin wanted to receive the Rite of Admission to Candidacy for Holy Orders in his home parish to be with his parents and thank the parish family for their prayerful support and dedication to Christian living.
“May this be a reminder for all of you to continue to pray for him every day on his journey to become a priest,” the bishop said. “I want to thank in a special way Justin’s parents and family for giving us their son and their brother. Vocations come from families that are holy. We need families to encourage vocations.”

This year’s RAGBRAI was more than just a mere bike ride for some in the Sioux City Diocese.
For some of the parishes, it was an opportunity to raise money for their organizations. In Sioux City, St. Michael Parish was selling breakfast burritos and baked goods. A total of 330 burritos were sold and over $2,000 was made.
