Annual Aquinas Lecture
Join us for the 5th Annual Aquinas Lecture featuring Larry Chapp and his exploration of holiness in an age of unbelief. Program begins at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, March 19 at the Cathedral of Saint Joseph in Sioux Falls. No entry fee, but registration is encouraged. Register here. (This event is sponsored by the Benedictine Leadership Institute at Mount Marty University, the Cathedral of Saint Joseph and the Diocese of Sioux Falls.)
Eucharistic Revival – Lenten Small Group Resources
During the year of the parish, the USCCB is encouraging each parish to host small groups using their new seven-week study, Jesus and the Eucharist. They have made it so easy! There is an online training for planning the small group, parish implementation and table facilitators. They give you the curriculum, videos, slide show presentations, handouts and more. Many parishes are considering this for a lenten study.
If you are interested, please connect with your Eucharistic Revival Parish Point Person or check out the resource webpage for more information.
D-Camp 2024 – Filling up Fast
D-Camp is filling up fast this year. Encourage your youth to sign up before it’s too late.
Discipleship Camp is a transformative experience for the youth in the Diocese of Sioux Falls. It is designed to help teens deepen their prayer life, grow in their understanding of who God is, and meet other teens who are engaged in their faith from throughout the diocese.
If your parish would like to sponsor your youth to attend D-Camp, please reach out to our office at discipleship@sfcatholic.org, and we can set up a discount code for your parishioners to use when they register.
For more information, please visit our D-Camp webpage.
Lumen Christi Summer 2024 Team Requests
Requests for Lumen Christi 2024 summer teams are open! Your request helps inform our hiring process. If you would like a team, please submit your request at the Lumen Christi webpage.
We will do our best to accommodate your preferences. You will receive a confirmation email as soon as the 2024 Lumen Christi missionaries have been hired and the calendar has been finalized. This will probably be around March 2024.
Do you know a great Lumen Christi recruit?
We are about half way through the recruiting season for Lumen Christi Summer 2024 , and we are still looking for passionate and dedicated college-aged young adults who have a burning desire to share their faith with youth throughout our diocese. If you know someone from your pastorate who has a deep desire to evangelize and catechize, we invite you to encourage him/her to apply to be a missionary. For more information, please visit the Lumen Christi webpage.

If you are new or newly diving into our offerings, we invite you to join the PCL email list. You can sign up on the diocesan For Parish Leaders webpage.
Weekly “Power Hour” for Formation Leaders – Tuesdays at 1 p.m.
Each week during the academic year, we hold a Zoom call for Parish Catechetical Leaders (PCL) from around our diocese. The goal is to offer an opportunity for growth in both spiritual and professional development and to have a space to bounce ideas off one another and inspire and encourage one another in our shared mission (we do so by alternating between a “public office hours”-style format and a format with presentation and discussion on a predetermined topic). Power Hours are held from 1-2 p.m. on Tuesdays. Zoom invitations are sent to the PCL email list weekly.
