A Good Shepherd --- An Interview with Bishop Samuel Aquila of Fargo

Clayton of The Weight of Glory republishes an interview he wrote some time ago with Bishop Aquila:

A few years ago, I wrote a series of articles for a newspaper called The Catholic Servant. Based in Minneapolis, this publication is printed monthly and focuses on topics related to catechesis and evangelization. The publisher, John Sondag, was kind enough to give me permission to reprint one of these articles on my blog. It's about Bishop Aquila, a native of California who is now serving in the prairies of Fargo, North Dakota.

I was especially interested in his involvement in establishing the new seminary in Denver. It sounds like a great program of priestly formation. Maybe one day Pope Benedict XVI will ask him to return to his native land to serve as a bishop in the Los Angeles area. The harvest is ready, but the laborers are few. More
