On leaving behind the 43,000 square mile Diocese of Rapid City in South Dakota, and moving to the 7,000 square mile Diocese of Saginaw, Bishop Gruss says he feels "missioned." 

"The Lord has really called me into a mission [in Saginaw]. I'm excited about coming ... there's an excitement about this new adventure, this new mission ... I'm looking forward to it."
