Lentorama 2012: Know Your Diocese
Day 22: Diocese of Rapid City
Given its current name in 1930, it was founded in 1902 as the Diocese of Lead which, then as now, covers the western part of South Dakota. But what I really want to know is why the Diocese of Lead? There is a town called Lead in South Dakota, along the border with Wyoming, and it was the sort of mining town that Catholics loved to set up shop in, but there's nothing out there on the diocese website or the town's website to suggest a link. But it makes as much sense as anything.
