Forming Missionary Disciples

“By God’s goodwill and grace, I was Baptized, Confirmed, and received my first Holy Communion during the Easter Vigil in 2021. After an excellent RCIA (now OCIA) course at St. Rose of Lima in Hill City, I was starving for knowledge. My pastor suggested I enroll in the Veritatis Splendor Institute in Rapid City. Getting to pray, share, study, and commune with other Catholics who desired to grow in their faith was always a motivational shot in the arm. I always heard exactly what I needed to every month! And after a long day, I would leave the Terra Sancta Retreat Center with more energy and spiritual motivation than when I arrived! The Veritatis Splendor Institute and all the people involved have made such an impact on me!”
