Monsignor Greg Gier was 17 years old and enjoying his high school days when the thought came to him, “There must be more to life than this, there must be, and that’s when I decided to see if, in fact, I was being called to be a priest.” 

Monsignor Gier was ordained on May 27th, 1967, and was the pastor at Christ the King Church in Tulsa for 13 years. He also served churches in Oklahoma City, Bartlesville, Dewey, Muskogee, and Ponca City.

He led or taught at Bishop Kelly and Bishop McGuiness High Schools, Marquette, and the Holy Family Cathedral School.

Monsignor Gier was rector for 17 years for Holy Family Cathedral in Tulsa.  He was on the board of directors for Catholic Charities of Tulsa and was vocational director for the Diocese of Tulsa.
The 50th anniversary of Monsignor Gier’s ordination was observed in 2017.
