Father Jarad Wolf is a Western North Dakota native, hailing from Glen Ullin, ND, and a graduate of New Salem High School. After high school, Father Wolf attended the University of Mary as a scholar-athlete, where he played tight end for Marauders football and majored in Engineering Sciences (a dual degree program offered at the time by UMary with the University of Minnesota).

Having benefited from the education, mentorships, and friendships God providentially provided at the University of Mary, Father Wolf discerned Jesus’ call to the diocesan priesthood. He spent two years studying at St. John Vianney Seminary in St. Paul before finishing his final four years of seminary formation at the North American College in Rome. Father Wolf was ordained to the priesthood on June 11, 2018. He has been grateful to serve in a number of roles, most recently as Pastor of St. Charles in Bowman, St. Mel in Rhame, and St. Mary in Marmarth. Father Wolf is next-level excited to serve as Chaplain for Marauders Athletics, a role he assumed in July 2022. Go Marauders!
