the altar of the Chair of St. Peter in
Stl Peter's Basilica in the Vatican.
"It was a beautiful and powerful
celebration to share with my family
and friends," he recalled. After ordi-
nation he served at Mass, preached
on occasion, took communion to
the homebound and and continued
spending time out among the people
of Rome.
- After he completed his studies
in Rome, Fr. Mark returned to South
Dakota where his journey to the
priesthood had started. On July 2,
2016, he was ordained to the priest-
hood by Bishop Robert Gruss at the
Cathedral of Our Lady of Perpetual
Help in Rapid City.
A West River parish priest serv-
ing in the Black Hills
He is currently serving par-
ishes in the Black Hills. Monsignor
Michael Woster is the pastor of the
churches where Ft. Mark serves as
the parochial vicar. "Msgr. Woster
has been a priest for 33 years. It's
great to have him as a mentor-father
to be able to walk me through these
new experiences."
Gaining more than giving up
Like other Catholic priests, Fr.
Mark is asked how it feels to give
up so much, like getting married
and having kids. This is the same
- question he asked back in Burke in
the summer of 2006, and he knows
the answer. "I feel like I've given up
so little and gained so much more,
because you get such a huge fam-
ily when you become a priest. Sure,
you make a promise of celibacy, but
that opens you up to a greater spiri-
tual fatherhood. When people call
me Father Mark, I recognize that.
People older than me call me Fr.
Mark. Little kids call me Fr. Mark
and give me hugs after Mass."
"They open up to me, not be-
cause of who Mark Horn is, but
because of who Jesus Christ in his
priesthood is, and they recognize
Jesus Christ in the priest, and they
see a spiritual father. I've done
nothing to deserve this, but, as St
Paul said in 1 Corinthians 15:10,
'By the grace of God, I am what I
am.'"
"I feel like I have the vastest
family. We have the parishes of
Spearfish, Belle Fourche and New-
ell and also the Newman Center and
these are large parishes. I joke with
people that at times I feel like an ab-
sent father, because I'm always run-
ning to the next thing. I feel what
parents feel like when they have a
lot of kids and some kids feel left
out, and they say, 'No, actually I
love you just as much as I love the
other one.'"
Fr. Mark lives in the city now,
but he still loves the outdoors and
nature. He's not so busy that he can't
find time for the occasional trip to
the Black Hills slopes for skiing. He
hasn't lost his love of basketball. He
attends BHSU basketball games.
He's a member of Men in Black,
the priests' basketball team that oc-
casionally plays to raises money for
seminarians. And he's always ready
for a pick up game.

Lord Grizzly, arguably the best-told
story of Hugh Glass, my strongest
connection is a love affair with the
Grand River. Hugh Glass's griz-
zly attack took place on the Grand
River south of l_,emmon, SD near
Shade Hill.
For the past 47 years, I have
hunted deer, coyotes, and sharp-
tail grouse along the Grand not too
far from the location of the Glass-
grizzly attack. I couldn't begin to
count the times I've imagined see-
ing Glass's head protruding above a
limb as it washed downstream in the
current. I've also picked up stone
arrow and spear points along the
Grand I've attributed to the Ree or
Arikara ..... Glass's adversaries.
It appeared to me that the pro-
ducers of the film had mixed objec-
tives. The weapons, dress, and Na-
tive American language as well as
the native actors were authentic in
my opinion. Two particular scenes
- the wolf pack taking down a buf-
falo, as well as the grizzly bear at-
tack scene, were fantastic! Were
they computer generated? I don't
know.
Then accuracy is all but forgot-
ten. The actual grizzly attack hap-
pened in the summer. The film por-
trayed a winter scene. There are no
stark mountains south of Lemmon.
There were in this movie. Putting
these aside, I enjoyed the movie.
See you next week.

Gov. Dennis Daugaard has
signed Senate Bill 114, the USS
South Dakota bill, into law.
The bill appropriates $100,000
to the South Dakota Department of
Military to support the USS South
Dakota (SSN-790) Commissioning
Committee's activities. The Com-
mittee will be raising additional
funds from the private sector.
The Virginia-class submarine is
under construction and is expected
to be completed in August of 2018.
It will be the first submarine to bear
the name USS South Dakota.
In the twentieth century, two
naval battleships were named after
the state: the USS South Dakota
(ACR-9) commissioned in 1908
and the USS South Dakota (BB-57)
commissioned in 1942.
