"Mary Kay Kusner is breaking new ground again.

A wife and mother of four, Kusner is a devout Catholic and a chaplain in palliative care at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. But she also is a deacon in the Catholic church, soon to be a priest and a force to be reckoned with in the church.

On June 13, Kusner will be ordained a Roman Catholic Womanpriest at First Christian Church in Coralville to become the first female Catholic Womanpriest in Iowa."
