Comprises that part of the State of South Dakota East of the Missouri River.
The Catholic Diocese of Sioux Falls is a significant presence
in eastern South Dakota. For more than 100 years, it has not only spread the message
of the Gospel, but has lived the message through its ministries. Through spiritual
and sacramental outreach, educational endeavors and a commitment to service, the
Church has made a difference in people's lives. We are striving to continue this
tradition by making our Diocese an even better place to live, learn, work and worship.
In 2007 the Family of God in the Sioux Falls Diocese numbers over 128,000 baptized
members.
The Pastoral
Center is where most of the diocesan head offices are. The building is located directly
North of St. Joseph Cathedral.
