The Office of Vocations would like to invite the women of our diocese to join our Spiritual Motherhood Group, according to the invitation of the Congregation for the Clergy, who asked women everywhere to consider serving as “Spiritual Mothers” to priests. This would include a commitment to prayer and offerings for the priests of our diocese, as well as prayers for an increase of vocations in our diocese. Cost of the event is $30 per person, includes Sunday lunch. Optional lodging and additional meals are also available. Tanya Cooper, Admin Assistant to the Office of Vocations or email tcooper@diorc.org or call 605-343-3541.

Join us for a special weekend retreat as we dive into special topics on The Art of Forming Young Disciples. Presentations will include understanding the foundational aspects of Youth Ministry by going beyond programming to an intentional ministry to young people that draws them into intimacy with Jesus Christ and His Church, equips them to know, love, and defend the faith, and sends them out on mission to reach out to their friends, classmates, and all those they meet. The presentations will draw on decades of youth ministry experience, connect you to others around the diocese involved in youth ministry, and will give you a firm foundation as you start another year of ministry to the youth in your parish!

The Catholic Social Services Annual Banquet at the Rushmore Plaza Civic Center will honor the late John T.
