Bishop Christian was University Classmate and inspiring colleague. He was good humored, encouraging, faithful to the Church that IS not what some wish it was (as in past tense). He was an ecumenist and, above all, my friend. I shall miss him greatly. Very Rev. Msgr. Dennis L. Mikulanis, S.T.D., San Diego.

Bishop Christian ordaining deacon Andrew
What a blessing for our family to have the opportunity to visit with Bishop Christian while visiting our son Fr. Andy Opsahl O.P. at St. Alberts Priory. We had great conversations around the dinner table that we will forever cherish.
For him to ordain our son to the Diaconate last August and vest him during his priestly ordination this past May 31st was a gift from God. May his soul Rest In Peace.
