Each year, the Catholic Community Foundation for Eastern South Dakota produces seven charity events that support various ministries throughout the Diocese of Sioux Falls. We encourage you to read more about each of these events and join us in supporting these important ministries.
Coming Up
Christmas at the Cathedral
December 12-15, 2024
Cathedral of St. Joseph | Sioux Falls
Enjoy an evening of beautiful music and moving storytelling as we celebrate the hope and joy of God’s incarnation at this year’s Christmas at the Cathedral performance, “Go In Peace!”
Christmas at the Cathedral benefits the Bishop Dudley Hospitality House, as well as the ongoing care of the Cathedral of St. Joseph, one of the region’s most significant civic and sacred landmarks. Christmas is not just an historical event or celebration, it is something that happens within each of us every moment of every day. Join us for this truly memorable event!
Other CCFESD Events
Notre Dame Football Experience
The Notre Dame Football Experience is a unique opportunity for fans of Notre Dame football to experience the trip of a lifetime to South Bend, Indiana for a game. This experience includes round-trip flights via private jet, game tickets, tailgating at the stadium, a private guided tour of the campus and all meals and beverages throughout the day. All proceeds benefit the Bishop Dudley Hospitality House.
Bishop’s Charity Hunt
Where else will you find your Bishop trading in his traditional black clerics and donning blaze orange, other than the annual Bishop’s Charity Hunt? This fully catered event was established in 1995 and today is held in the heart of pheasant country on a private preserve near Kimball, SD. Proceeds benefit Newman Catholic Campus Ministry in the Diocese of Sioux Falls.
Bishop’s Fishing Tournament
Established in 1996, the annual Bishop’s Fishing Tournaments are held in two locations – on Big Stone Lake in Big Stone City and on the Missouri River near Pierre. These unique events include a bass and walleye tournament, Mass celebrated by a Bishop, a silent auction, raffles and an outdoor prime rib dinner. All proceeds benefit seminarian education and formation in our diocese.
Taste the Goodness
Get ready for an extraordinary evening! Taste a delicious variety of food, wine, craft beer and bourbon, with plenty of non-alcoholic options too. The evening will include music, games, and a great silent auction—all outdoors under tents in downtown Sioux Falls. Join us for a night of flavor, fun and fellowship supporting those in our community in most need of our help. Proceeds will benefit the Bishop Dudley Hospitality House.
Bishop’s Cup Golf Tournament
The Bishop’s Cup Golf Tournament is the longest-running Bishop’s Charity event for our diocese. Established in 1994, this golf event is held in August of each year on the two most pristine courses in our diocese – The Country Club of Sioux Falls and Minnehaha County Country Club. Proceeds from this event benefit Broom Tree Retreat and Conference Center, located near Irene, SD.
