MoreFr. John Berger
Guest Celebrant
Originally from North Dakota, Fr. John Berger moved west and was ordained for the Diocese of Honolulu in 1991. He served as Rector at the Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of Peace in Honolulu until 2013, when he suffered a damaging heart attack and blood clot. He received a medical retirement from that diocese and relocated to the Twin Cities to be near to his sisters.
Fr. Berger has always been drawn to helping people, and enjoys the unique opportunity afforded to parish priests to restore people’s ability to participate fully in the life and liturgy of the Church. Through ministry and his own personal challenges, he understands how “the experiences of human frailty and disappointment can actually become opportunities for growth and, by the grace of God, segues to new perspectives and a renewed purpose.”
He occasionally attended The Basilica over the years during visits with his sisters, and got to know Fr. John Bauer through the bi-annual Cathedral Ministry Conference.
Fr. Berger enjoys presiding at weekday Masses. He shares, “I have been glad to get to know parishioners, and to do what we in Hawaii call ‘talk story’.”
