==Biography==
The oldest of six children, William Skylstad was born in the Okanogan County town of Omak, delivered on a table in the garage. His father was an apple farmer and Norwegian immigrant. He grew up at a farm in the settlement of Skylstad, east of Ålesund in the fjord country of Norway. He was a Lutheran, but the mother (Reneldes Elizabeth Danzl-Skylstad) was a devout Catholic from Minnesota.
At age 14, William Skylstad left home to attend seminary, and was trained for the priesthood at Pontifical College Josephinum in Worthington, Ohio. Twelve years later, he was ordained a priest of the Diocese of Spokane on May 21, 1960. Father Skylstad went on to attend Washington State University and serve as an assistant pastor in Pullman, Washington. After that, he was principal of a minor seminary (a type of seminary preparatory high school for boys) in Colbert near Spokane, evaluating student fitness for the priesthood. He also served as pastor of St. Joseph Parish in Colbert, and sat on a personnel board that counseled the bishop on problem priests. In the summer of 1974 Skylstad became pastor at Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary parish, Spokane. In 1976 he was made chancellor of the diocese.
He was appointed Bishop of Yakima on February 22, 1977 and consecrated on May 12, 1977, and subsequently appointed fifth Bishop of Spokane on April 17, 1990 and installed on April 27, 1990. Skylstad was appointed Bishop of Spokane to replace Bishop Lawrence H. Welsh after Welsh was arrested for drunk driving.〔(''Spokesman-Review'', 25 Oct, 2002 )〕 On June 30, 2010, Pope Benedict XVI accepted the resignation of Bishop Skystad.〔http://www.kxly.com/news/24095917/detail.html〕
