Father Peter Heier[a] (September 16, 1895 – March 24, 1982), S.V.D. was a Roman Catholic priest of Hague, North Dakota.
Peter Heier was the son of George and Magdalena (Wolf) Heier. He was born in Kleinliebental (today Malodolynske), Ukraine. His family immigrated to the United States and settled in North Dakota. Heier studied for the priesthood and was stationed in Hague, North Dakota, where he also served as an exorcist. He served as a Divine Word missionary[1] in China,[2][3] where he was put in charge of a noted demonic possession case in 1926 and again in 1929, concerning a Chinese woman named Lautien in Henan, China.[4] The case was printed up in a pamphlet entitled Begone Satan by Father Celestine Kapsner in 1928.
Heier died in Rochester, New York on March 24, 1982 at the age of 86.[5]
