OUR SACRED MISSION

There are still available slots for the Covenant School of Spiritual Direction in partnership with the University of Mary. The three-session program will produce trained spiritual directors from among the clergy, religious and laity to help guide people into a closer union with God, easing the load on the current cadre of spiritual directors and expanding access to this spiritual practice. The availability of one or more spiritual directors in a parish has the potential for great renewal and transformation in the life of the faithful. The Covenant School is not primarily academic, but rather spiritually transforming. There are no tests, and no papers are required. The curriculum is rigorous, with a packed schedule of presentations, practice, and prayer during each of the two-week sessions. If you considered becoming a spiritual director, or you know someone who might be a good director, visit http://cssd.one for more details. You may also contact the co-directors Dr. Carole Brown, PhD: 605-985-5906; cbrown@diorc.org or Deacon Greg Sass: 605-343-3541 x2228; gsass@diorc.org.

Held at Arrowhead Country Club. Registration begins at 11 a.m. with shotgun start at noon. Sponsored by WSDCF, RCCSS, and CSS. Register at www.wsdcf.org

WSDCF is committed to promoting and strengthening the Catholic Church by providing people an opportunity to make gifts that provide financial resources for meeting the spiritual needs of future generations of Catholics in the Diocese of Rapid City.

Proceeds will support Catholic Social Services’ Lakota Circles of Hope program that uses Lakota culture and identity to teach 2nd through 8th grade students to avoid drugs, alcohol, tobacco, bullying, and suicide.

Proceeds provide financial assistance for students of the Rapid City Catholic School System. This funding contributes toward helping defray costs of tuition. Tuition assistance is an integral part of the school’s vision of making Catholic education available to all.
