Children's Book "Wish List"

With the enthusiastic response to the Children's Liturgy during Mass, we hope to expand the parish lending library to include quality children's books for praying at Mass and borrowing to take home. If you would like to help by purchasing any of the books on our "wish" list or make a financial contribution, please contact Marry Farrell in the parish office.

Faith On The Road

Teens who have already been confirmed,

Are you not sure what the church offers you after Confirmation? Want to gather with people your age? Do you wonder about what the church teaches and why? Want to serve the Rapid City community?

Faith On The Road (FOTR) is for you! We meet on a monthly basis (sometimes more frequently depending on activities), for a variety of activities and events including: movie clubs, pizza discussion nights, visiting Newman Centers, serving meals at the Cornerstone Rescue Mission, serving community members in need, learning how to defend your faith beyond high school, and more! We need your input for upcoming summer events!

There is no cost, food is provided and friends are welcome to come.

Come and check out how to take your Faith On The Road! Questions? Call Denise at the youth office: 605.342.3336
