Congratulations, Bishop Balke!

✨ 50 YEARS A BISHOP — AD MULTOS ANNOS, BISHOP BALKE! ✨

Today, September 2, the Diocese of Crookston joyfully celebrates a remarkable milestone in the life of The Most Reverend Victor H. Balke, Bishop Emeritus of Crookston: the 50th anniversary of his episcopal ordination.

On September 2, 1976, Bishop Balke was ordained a bishop and installed as the sixth Bishop of Crookston. For more than three decades, he shepherded the Church in northwest Minnesota with faithfulness and devotion, serving as our diocesan bishop until his retirement in 2007.

Today, 50 years after his episcopal ordination, Bishop Balke remains a beloved part of the life of our local Church — a living witness to a lifetime given in service to Christ and his people.

And this month holds another extraordinary milestone: on September 29, Bishop Balke will celebrate his 95th birthday!

We give thanks to God for Bishop Balke’s vocation, his priesthood and episcopal ministry, and the countless lives touched through his service to the Church.

Bishop Balke’s episcopal motto offers fitting words for this joyful day:

“Bless the Lord, my soul.”

Please join us in congratulating Bishop Balke on his Golden Jubilee of Episcopal Ordination and in praying for him with gratitude:

May the Lord continue to bless and strengthen Bishop Balke, and may he know the deep gratitude and affection of the people he has served for so many years.

Ad multos annos, Bishop Balke! Happy Golden Jubilee! 💛
