Fr. Wayne Sattler

By Fr. Wayne Sattler

Fr. Wayne Sattler has been a priest of the Diocese of Bismarck since 1997. He served as an instructor in two of their diocesan high schools for three years, a pastor for sixteen years, and lived a life of prayerful solitude as a diocesan hermit for six years. During his time as a diocesan hermit, as a fruit of this call, Fr. Sattler gave retreats to priests and religious, particularly the Missionaries of Charity. In 2023 he began a new role as Diocesan Spiritual Director for the Bismarck Diocese. In this role, along with providing spiritual direction, he has given numerous retreats, talks, and parish missions. He is the author of the book; And You Will Find Rest; What God Does in Prayer, which is presently used as a text for a class he teaches annually at the University of Mary as well as in their diocesan Permanent Diaconate Formation Program.
