VALLEY CITY, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – The Very Reverend, Paul Duchschere was named the new pastor of St. Catherine’s Catholic Church in Valley City on June 30th.

Duchschere said it’s a wonderful parish, and a beautiful town. I’ve been in Fargo for the last 30 years as a priest and it’s nice to be serving this parish in Valley City. He previously served as the pastor of St. Anne and Joachim Church in Fargo.

Duchschere replaces Monsignor Dennis Skonseng who was reassigned to St. Rose Lima Church in Hillsboro, N.D. and St. William’s Church in Argusville, N.D.
