Bishop Muhich had announced Wednesday that he would be moving into hospice care amid treatment for esophageal and lymphatic cancer.
While asking for prayers from the Catholic community, Bishop Muhich also asked the intercession of Servant of God Nicholas Black Elk, a famous Native American Catholic whose sainthood cause was opened by the Rapid City Diocese in 2017.
Born on May 13, 1961 as the second of seven children, Bishop-elect Muhich was ordained to the priesthood in the Diocese of Duluth at the age of 28.
