Fr. David Hemann
Fr. David Hemann, a priest of the diocese of Sioux City, IA, received his STB from the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome, Italy and his MA in Sacramental Theology from the San Anselmo in Rome. He is the Pastor of Holy Cross Parish in Sioux City, IA. His previous assignments include Pastor of Sacred Heart in Ida Grove, IA. He also taught in high schools and grade schools for over 10 years and was always very involved in the youth ministry of his parishes. Father David is a priest who works well with people of all ages from conception to death to eternal life.
In addition to his regular priestly activities, Fr. Hemann has been engaged in a music ministry before and throughout his priesthood. He believes that music is the language of the people. Father David's music has lent itself to involvement in a number of nationwide ministries of giving retreats, missions and concerts. One highlight was being a featured artist in the presence of Mother Teresa of Calcutta at the first World Youth Day in Rome in 1984 at the English speaking session at Santa Sabina. During 2000-2001, he was released for the period of one year from his regular priestly duties to pursue ministry around the diocese preaching on the themes of spirituality, discipleship, prayer and vocations. Each weekend was spent in a different parish putting on a mission which included regular weekend masses and homilies, a Sunday Evening Concert of original music and sharing the gospel, a Monday Evening talk on "Pruning and Fruitfulness in the Catholic Life" in the context of a reconciliation service, and a Tuesday Evening Healing Mass.
Fr. David has had the privilege to craft numerous CDs that have helped people to pray, bring consolation and the Good News to them, and build the Kingdom of God including, Let Nothing Trouble You, a collection of prayers and wisdom that helps bring peace and hope to the anxious heart, Into the Light, Psalms, Saints and miscellaneous prayers. In God's Company, a very well received work of traditional Catholic prayers set to music and Holy Warriors, more prayers with a definite Irish flavor and great variety.
