Martin Marty (born James Joseph Alois Marty; January 12, 1834 – September 19, 1896) was a Swiss-born Benedictine missionary and Catholic bishop in the United States. Marty was the first abbot of Saint Meinrad Archabbey in Indiana; the first Vicar Apostolic of Dakota Territory, where he ministered to the Lakota Sioux; and the second Bishop of Saint Cloud. His zeal for the Native American missions earned him the title, "The Apostle of the Sioux". Source: Wikipedia (en)
