What should I wear?
We want you to feel comfortable. After all, we are thrilled that you're joining us and want you to be more focused on the service than what you're wearing. In the summertime, it's not uncommon to see people wearing sandals, shorts, and a shirt. Others prefer to still put on their "Sunday best," and that's fine too! However, we do request that shorts be of a conservative length (no “short-shorts”) and that in general, clothing be respectable and conservative.
How do I get to Our Lady of the Black Hills?
Our parish is located at 12365 Sturgis Rd. Piedmont, SD 57769. Here is a map.
I’m not Catholic, how do I know when to sit, stand and kneel?
There’s no need to be self-conscious about the postures and responses used during worship. Most visitors just follow the lead of our parishioners. However, we do have worship aids located in each pew that provide you with the order of the mass, the postures, and the words of each prayer.
I’m not Catholic, is it okay for me to participate in communion?
Communion, or The Eucharist, is the most intimate expression of our faith. Catholics believe that the host is the body of Christ, transformed from bread by the priest presiding over the service. We believe it is a sacrament and the true presence of Christ. So, if you are not Catholic, or are not in good standing, we ask that you not receive communion. However, those not receiving the Body of Christ and Precious blood are invited to pray in the pew and are encouraged to sing.
I have a hearing problem, is there any special assistance?
We understand. We have hearing devices located in the labeled drawer of the back counter in the gathering space.
