With his sisters and family he traveled to various places before returning to Scipio, KS in 1905. In September of 1911, Henry, who was now 21 years of age, joined his brother Edward in setting out to Chicago, IL to study to be Carmelite Priests. Henry had to brush up on grade school before the two brothers entered high school at St. Cyril's High School, Chicago, IL. Henry took simple vows on August 15, 1914 during his novitiate which he started at Englewood, NJ . He made profession of August 23, 1915. He graduated from St. Cyril High School in 1916 and from St. Cyril College in June 1918. He was ordained Father Dionysius on June 21, 1921, b y Bishop McGavick in Holy Angels Church in Chicago. He said his first Mass on June 26, 1921 a t St. Boniface Church, Scipio, KS. Fr. Dionysius taught at old St. Cyril's High School (now Mt. Carmel High School) until 19 25. Thus far, he and his brother had been together. In 1925, Fr. Dionysius was sent to Mt. Carmel College, Niagara Falls, Canada. He taught in the college classroom and also assumed charge of parish work in the mission churches in New Germany and Chippewa which were affiliated with Our lady of Peach Church in Niagara Falls. Here he stayed until 1927, when he was sent to St. John's, New Baltimore, PA. In February, 1937, he was put in charge of St. Mary's in Closter, NJ. In 1941, he was sent to St. Therese parish, Richmond, KS. While at Richmond he celebrated his silver jubilee as a priest in June 1946, with his brother Fr. Dominic and Fr. Matthew O'Neill. They had all been ordained together. A year later in 1947, Father Dion narrowly escaped death in a fire that all but destroyed the rectory in Richmond. After spending some time in recovering from shock and injuries, h e was assigned to Holy Trinity Community in Pittsburgh, PA. Here, in addition to work at the Little Flower Shrine, he did regular outside priestly work, such as assisting at Annunciation parish on weekdays, hearing confessions at Roselia Maternity Hospital and offering up the Holy Sacrifice there on Sundays. Before very long, he assumed what was to be his last charge, that of the St. Mary Magdalene de Pazzi chapter of the Third Order Secular. He retained this charge until some six months before his death. He moved to St. Leo's on the north side of Pittsburgh in April 1958. He had long been severely afflicted with a weak heart and with asthma. He continued his work in connection with the Third Order Secular from St. Leo's until his health failed. He was transferred to Infant of Prague Villa, Akron, OH sometime in August 1958. It was there that Fr. Dion died on January 31, 1959. Father Dionysius Lickteig was the "patriarch" of the Lickteig's in the Carmelite Order. Many others joined in later years. He was nearing the age of 69, and had been professed for over 43 years and had been a priest for nearly 38 years. His Mass of Requiem was offered up in St. Boniface Church in Scipio, KS on February 4, 1959 and he is buried in the cemetery near the Church.
