David Dennis Kagan (born November 9, 1949) is an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He has been serving as bishop of the Diocese of Bismarck in North Dakota since 2011.

Biography[edit]

Early life and education[edit]

David Kagan was born on November 9, 1949, in Waukegan, Illinois, and grew up in Spring Grove, Illinois. He received his primary education at Saint Peter School in Spring Grove. Kagan entered the Salvatorian Seminary in St. Nazianz, Wisconsin, and then studied philosophy at Loras College/St. Pius X Seminary in Dubuque, Iowa.[1][2]

Priesthood[edit]

Kagan was ordained into the priesthood at the Cathedral of Saint Peter in Rockford, Illinois, by Bishop Arthur O'Neill on June 14, 1975, for the Diocese of Rockford.[3] After his 1975 ordination, the diocese assigned Kagan as parochial vicar of Saint Patrick Parish in Dixon, Illinois, and as a teacher of religious education at Newman Central Catholic High School in Sterling, Illinois.

Kagan went to Rome in 1977 to enter the seminary at the Pontifical North American College. He received a Licentiate of Canon Law from the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome 1979.[2] After returning to Illinois, Kagan held the following positions within the diocese:

Kagan served as president of the presbyteral council and editor of the diocesan weekly paper. He was admitted to the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem as a knight commander in March 1995.[4] In 1994, Kagan was named vicar general and moderator of the curia for the diocese by his bishop, as well as honorary prelate by the Vatican. In 2011, the Vatican elevated Kagan to the rank of protonotary apostolic.[4]

Bishop of Bismarck[edit]

Kagan was named bishop of Bismarck by Pope Benedict XVI on October 19, 2011, following the retirement of Bishop Paul Zipfel.[5] He was consecrated at Bismarck's Cathedral of the Holy Spirit on Wednesday, November 30, 2011. Archbishop John Nienstedt was the principal consecrator. Zipfel and Bishop Thomas G. Doran were the principal co-consecrators.[6]
