Every Gift has a Story

Every relationship has a story. For Ben and Judy Kubischta, their story as a couple started with a blind date.

Ben was working in Bismarck at the time and Judy was in nursing school in Minot. This serendipitous meeting led to what was known back in the day as a ‘mixed marriage,’ that is, Catholic and Lutheran.

For those whose memories don’t go back that far, that was indeed cause for consternation among many young couples’ parents – on both sides.

Fortunately for Ben and Judy, by the time they decided to marry in 1973, they found a lovely way to incorporate both their faith traditions in the wedding ceremony.

“A pastor in Judy’s rural parish knew the priest in Parshall,” Ben said. “They both were present at the wedding. That was a great ecumenical moment.”

During their married life, Judy returned to school at the University of Mary in 1986 to finish her degree. Ben had a longtime career with the North Dakota Department of Transportation. And the couple has three children, Eric, Erin, and Kelly.

Ben is a familiar face at University of Mary athletic events, attending and assisting at so many sports events of all types that he could truly be called Mary’s super fan.

Assisting at athletic events, such as recently timing at swim meets, is an amazing experience, Ben said.

“You get close to the athletes. You could see their excitement, nervousness, emotions. It was personally exciting and fulfilling to witness that,” he said.

Ben comes out for all sports; there’s not an athlete that doesn’t know him, Judy said.

Every relationship has a story.

The relationship between the Kubischtas’ scholarship and the University of Mary started with Mike Arnegard, former development officer at Mary.

“He got us into a program, specifically the nursing scholarship,” Ben said.

And at the couple’s 40th wedding anniversary, their daughter, Erin, said ‘let’s raise money here for [the] nursing scholarship,’ Judy said.

So in 2013, those gifts became the seed money for the Ben and Judy Kubischta Scholarship.

Lucas Kreamer, a senior nursing major from Jefferson City, Montana, graduates this spring. He will then serve with FOCUS [The Fellowship of Catholic University Students] for two years and likely work part-time “to keep my skills up,” he said.

Cecilia Nicklaus, a senior philosophy major from Burnsville, Minnesota, has applied to graduate school and hopes to eventually teach:

“When Monsignor [Shea] speaks to students and says, ‘Mary loves you,’ he means this [University of] Mary, and our mother, Mary,” she said, “that means all the people who give of themselves. When Monsignor says, ‘Mary loves you,’ I know the full extent of what that means.”

This page: Ben is truly a super fan of the University of Mary Marauders, seldom missing a game.

“We gave and contributed to it, until it’s now endowed,” he said.

They choose to contribute monthly and make larger contributions when the opportunity to do so comes along, he said.

“One of the things I like about giving monthly is that we always send notes along to the staff in Mary’s Mission Advancement office,” Ben said. “Donating is important, but sending a handwritten note …”

“That’s the personal touch,” Judy said.

Julie Lytle, in the Office of Mission Advancement, has been saving Ben and Judy’s notes in a glass canning jar. The notes are written in Ben’s distinctive printing, honed during his career as an architectural draftsman, when plans were hand-drawn, and all addressed to “My Mary friends.”

“Every little bit helps,” Ben said. “We have to have those people who make huge donations, but sometimes for the person who gives $100, that is a bigger strain upon them than the person who gives a million.

“You give what you can.”

Beyond feeding the scholarship, Judy and Ben thought it would be great to take the scholarship recipients out for dinner, Judy said.

“It became very personal then. They [the students] are so awesome. We learn more about who they are,” she said.

Helping students is really important to them, Ben said.

“Quite often we don’t see the impact [of the scholarships], but we don’t have to see that impact [to know it exists],” he said.

Ben has a story he tells called “how football, the Missouri River, and a license plate brought comfort to a stranger” to illustrate the impact of kindness.

The story in brief: At a DOT conference, he gave a woman a vintage license plate

“Every little bit helps. We have to have those people who make huge donations, but sometimes for the person who gives $100, that is a bigger strain upon them than the person who gives a million. “You give what you can.”

that reminded her of her brother, just as a thoughtful gift he thought she might enjoy.

Two weeks later, he said, he received a letter from her about how much comfort that had given her in her illness.

“You give a gift, and most of the time, you don’t know the impact,” he said. “But your gift is helping somebody, someplace.”

Giving at its most precious is always about relationships. Each gi that Ben and Judy Kubischta gives to the University of Mary has come with a personal note to Mission Advancement sta, collected in this simple glass jar — sometimes it’s a word of advice, or a reection on a moment in life, but always with a greeting of warm encouragement.

Donors listed in this publication have contributed in 2019-2020. Please know of our prayers and gratitude for all of the friends of the University of Mary and of the countless ways you bless those we serve... our students.
