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, 2021, through those who have died on or before August 31, 2022, in a Word document or email.
Please note the deadline to be included has changed from September 30 to August 31. This is due to the deadline changes with our new printer which requires content to them approximately six weeks prior to mailing.
Please list (per parish/religious community)
Please respond even if your parish/community has recorded no deaths in this time period. Simply state “no deaths.”
Please send your report in a Word document or type it directly into the email so it can be easily copied and formatted for the Bishop’s Bulletin, and indicate your parish(es)/community in the email subject line.
Begin sending your information after August 31, reports will not be accepted before August 31. The deadline to be included in the Necrology is September 12.
Brianna will respond to your email when she has received it. If you don’t hear from her, she did not get it.
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.
