This week I will be taking a brief ten-day vacation to the Black Hills to recoup from a very busy and full summer. Because of the clergy shortage in the Rapid City Diocese, I will cover the parish Masses in Keystone and Hill City so that Father Janusz Korban, their pastor, has a chance to get away for his vacation, too. Don’t worry… I promise to bring back a good supply of salt water taffy. As the summer winds down and we gear up for the school year and harvest, may God continue to pour out his blessings upon us all. May he bring the good work he has begun in each of our lives to fruitful completion. Fr.

Safe environment training is for all adults who are hired by the church, or volunteers with youth or vulnerable adults. Such programs are religious education, youth discipleship, Martha's kitchen, and taking communion to the homebound. Please get your training completed by Sept 1. Any questions please call JoLynn. 1.
