Veritatis Splendor Institute

The Veritatis Splendor Institute (VSI) was founded in the Diocese of Rapid City in 2013 under the patronage of St. John Paul II. It is within his legacy and luminous Magisterium that we seek to ground the holistic formation which the Institute imparts: formation that is human, spiritual, intellectual, and pastoral.

The goal of the Institute is the mission of the Church: “to proclaim the Gospel to all men” (Ad Gentes 1). As all are called to this mission, VSI strives to form disciples, lay ministers, volunteers, and catechists who are engaged in the Church’s ministry: DREs, youth ministers, catechists, Catholic school teachers, volunteers, liturgists, musicians, pastoral ministers, and others who want to grow as evangelists and teachers of the Faith.

The Catholic Church has a long history in the Southern Hills of South Dakota.


  • 1887 First Mass Celebrated by Missionary Priest


  • May 1890, Father John Cassidy became pastor of the area.  A two-story building across from the Fall River County Courthouse served as chapel/residence.


  • August 1898, the old school building was purchased for $531.  Father J. E. Cartier, pastor, divided the building into a chapel, a vestibule and small living quarters.  This church was named in honor of St. Anthony of Padua. 


"The Lord breathes the breath of life, contrition of heart, into the face of the soul when he impresses upon it his own image and likeness, which has been soiled by sin, and renews it."

- ST. ANTHONY OF PADUA
