Clam Dip

Father Brian Christensen
Cathedral of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, Rapid City

1 can of minced clams with juice
3/4 stick melted butter
1-1/4 cup crushed Ritz crackers
Garlic salt to taste
Parmesan cheese to taste
Oregano to taste

Mix all together and bake in oven at 350 for 1/2 hour.

A Christensen family favorite! Mom would make the warm clam dip in a small earthenware crock and bake it to total deliciousness! She would serve it as an hors d’oeuvre around Christmas, wintertime parties, and special occasions in Lent. How can you go wrong with that much butter and Ritz crackers?

Event Details

Join us for our second year of “Cinema with the Shepherd”: Bishop Bullock’s annual film festival! This year’s slate of films will feature films from the “Vatican 45 Notable Films.” The Pontifical Council for Social Communications released a list of 45 films in 1995 to mark the centennial of Auguste and Louis Lumière’s display of their films. The films were chosen by an expert group, and Pope St. John Paul II recommended that these films be watched.

Event Details

You’re invited to DWELL, an evening set aside to rest, pray, and dwell with the Lord. The night will include reverent worship music led by Maggie Kindsfater, Eucharistic Adoration, and optional, self-guided prayer opportunities. You’ll be invited to pick a priest’s name, offer your hour of prayer for him, and fill out a card letting him know he was prayed for. Lectio Divina reflection cards will also be available for meditative prayer.

This event is open to young adults ages 20-30. Couples are invited to bring their children; we just ask that they keep their voices low and refrain from making unnecessary noises (or, if needed, that you take your child out if they start crying) so we can maintain a reverent atmosphere.
