Necrology Report needed

Each year in the November issue of The Bishop’s Bulletin we feature a complete listing of those of our diocesan family who have died during the past year. We need your assistance in compiling that list.

Please check your records and list the names of all members of your parish(es)/community who have died on or after October 1, 2019, through those who have died on or before September 30, 2020.

Please list (per parish/religious community)

  • Names of the dead (no nicknames, only proper names, like Helen Jones, not Mrs. Johnny Jones, or Jones, Helen).
  • Date of his/her death in chronological order.
  • For example: Helen Jones- Oct. 24; Jim Smith- Nov. 18; Carol Nelson- Jan. 17

Please respond even if your parish/community has recorded no deaths in this time period. Simply state “no deaths.”

We need your necrology information by October 8 or sooner. Please email Brianna Wingen at bwingen@sfcatholic.org or mail to Bishop’s Bulletin Necrology, 523 N. Duluth Ave., Sioux Falls, SD 57104 with your completed Necrology report.

Thank you for your help with getting this report compiled. If you have any questions, call Brianna at 605-988-3789 or email at bwingen@sfcatholic.org.
