Bishop’s Fishing Tournaments
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 family-friendly events include a bass and walleye tournament, an outdoor Mass celebrated by attending clergy, a silent auction, youth games and activities, raffles and an outdoor prime rib dinner. All proceeds benefit seminarian education and formation in the Diocese of Sioux Falls.
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 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.
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.
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. Proceeds benefit the Bishop Dudley Hospitality House.
