Holiday giving

Confirmation students from St. Therese the Little Flower, Rapid City, made 250 Thanksgiving food bags in November and 250 Christmas food bags the Saturday before Christmas to help Church Response feed the poor and homeless. They also completed an Advent project making 16 birthday cake gift sets for those who cannot afford birthday celebrations for their children or a family member. The St. Vincent Paul Society, St. Isaac Jogues, and Church Response helped distribute meal bags and cake sets. (Courtesy photo)

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.
