Father Gregory Crane, STL
About Me
I am a priest of the Diocese of Bismarck who was ordained in 2019. I served for seven years in parishes and schools in the northern half of the diocese before being assigned to the University of Mary in 2026. I love theology. It deepens our knowledge and love of God — He for whom our hearts long. Theology heals the world by healing the mind.
Why I’m At MaryI was assigned to the University of Mary by Bishop Kagan following discernment and discussion with Monsignor Shea. I look forward to creating a space in the classroom, and in the theology program in general, where students and faculty can freely delve into the knowledge of God as revealed to us through Sacred Scripture and elaborated upon by the 2,000-year history of the Church’s theological tradition.
Expertise
The areas of emphasis in my graduate studies were liturgical theology and sacramental theology.
