<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>During the late 1800s and the early 1900s the large Indian Reservation given to the Lakota was reduced in size and opened for settlement by white homesteaders. The Milwaukee Road railroad was being built and many "homesteaders" traveled on it to the northwest South Dakota area.</p><br>
<p>Numerous Norwegian people homesteaded in the area around the years of 1902 through 1910 and there were many ethnic enclaves adjacent to each other, including a Ukrainian settlement and German settlement. Eventually, the Norwegians built a sod church building, and its remains can still be noted along the highway from Reeder, North Dakota (about 12 miles to the south near a prominent curve of the road south of Grassy Butte). The local Norwegian community decided to build another church building after the first one became "weathered," and it was built by volunteer labor and funds by the men of the local Norwegian community. The church was the social center of the community as well as the religious center with ice cream socials, performances with local people, and musical events with instruments and singing.</p><br>
<p>As the economy improved and farms became larger and more efficient, fewer people resided in the area surrounding the Golden Valley Church. Eventually, not enough attendees remained to support the church, and so it closed around the late 1960s. The property on which the church stands remained titled in the name of the family who donated its use for the church before 1921. Eventually, the land was purchased by Kit and Barbara Johnson, and after Kit&#39;s death it passed in whole to Barbara. She and her son now independently operate the farm surrounding the church and the church building is largely controlled by the family. An organization has been established to help preserve the church building with support from the Christiansen, Johnson, and Howe families.</p><br>
<p>The church now stands alone on the gently sloping side of Grassy Butte with a beautiful view of the surrounding area. The altar in the church was imported from Norway and, generally, the church is well-preserved. The cemetery located in the back of the church has graves of many original church founder families.</p><br>

On July 15, 1901, it was reported that “the committee appointed to investigated the matter of erecting a chapel and vault-building reports that the cost of such a building is beyond the present ability of the association and the matter is dropped.”</p><br>
<p>Long-time family friend of the Glidden&#39;s and President of the cemetery board at the time, Dennis L McKinney wasted no time in contacting architectural firms and called a special meeting of the board on Feb. 24, 1922. The drawings and ideas of architects Hugill and Blatherwick were accepted with the understanding that the construction costs shall not exceed the sum of $13,000. April 7, 1922, Carlson & Snitky Contractors bid $12,975."</p><br>

<p>The Church of the Immaculate Conception  is a historic building located in Rapid City, South Dakota, United States. Built as a parish church, it became the cathedral of the Diocese of Rapid City when the seat of the diocese was moved to Rapid City. It is now known as the Chapel of the Immaculate Conception.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>St. Marys Church was established in 1881. The cornerstone for its sandstone church building, designed in the Romanesque Revival style, was laid in 1909. It was dedicated in 1911. The Catholic Diocese of Lead was relocated and became the Diocese of Rapid City in 1930. St. Marys Church was renamed the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception at that time. Cardinal Francis Spellman came to the cathedral in 1948 to install William McCarty, C.Ss.R as the new bishop of the diocese.</p><br>
<p>The parish soon outgrew the church and it was replaced by the Cathedral of Our Lady of Perpetual Help in 1962. The church was added to the National Register in 1975. In time Immaculate Conception became a chapel and has housed a community where Mass is celebrated in Latin since 1992.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The church building follows basically a rectangular plan with a cross-gabled section in the center of the structure. Both side gables are flanked by chimneys and are capped with a cross. The stone cladding was quarried locally. A square central tower capped with a pyramid-shaped spire covered with terneplate is located on the main facade. It includes the main entrance with a round-arch stained glass window above the three-panel doors. The round-arch openings in the bell chamber feature a balustrade. Round-arch windows filled with stained glass line the side elevations. The three windows in the cross-gabled section are taller than the four windows that flank it. Most of the windows are composed of geometric designs. The two largest windows depict Biblical scenes. All the window openings are capped by radiating voussoirs. The apse, constructed of vertical board on the rear elevation, is a later addition.</p><br>
<p>Immaculate Conception is considered significant as the best example of the Romanesque Revival style in Rapid City, and one of only a few of this style that still exists there. It is the last known cut stone building constructed in the city, and one of two buildings with rock-faced facades that remain.</p><br>

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 as St. Bernard&#39;s Catholic Church.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The area, then part of Dakota Territory, was settled around 1883 by German immigrants, and the parish of St. Bernard was established to serve them. The first church, a wooden structure, was completed in 1888, and replaced by another in 1893.</p><br>
<p>The second wooden church was destroyed, along with much of the town, by a windstorm in 1917. Longtime pastor Msgr. Anthony Helmbrecht took the opportunity to construct a brick church inspired by those in his childhood Bavaria. By the time construction was completed in 1921, Helmbrecht had raised $500,000, enough to build a church with a capacity of 1,200 decorate it richly.</p><br>
<p>The church&#39;s interior paintings and plaster work was extensively restored in 1980s, mainly at the hands of local volunteers who trained in various restoration techniques and contributed some 20,000 hours of labor. The church continues to rely heavily on volunteers for upkeep.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Helmbrecht hired Bavarian-American architect Anton Dohmen of Milwaukee to design the church, reportedly modeled on one in Ruhmannsfelden, Bavaria. Dohmen&#39;s previous work included Church of St. Agnes in Vermillion, as well as the Church of Ss. Peter and Paul in Strasburg, North Dakota, the Church of St. Mary’s at Assumption Abbey in Richardton, North Dakota, and the Church of St. Andrew in LeRoy, Wisconsin. The construction contract was given to Anton Zwach, a German contractor from Dubuque, Iowa. Construction began in 1917 and continued for four years, after which the new church was rededicated to St. Anthony of Padua.</p><br>
<p>The church is a brick Neo-Romanesque-Gothic building with an ornate portal entrance surmounted by a rose window. It has two 120 ft towers. The interior is a basilica plan which terminates in a rounded apse, with Corinthian-columned arcades separate the nave and side aisles. The vaulted ribbed ceilings are decorated with floral and geometric stenciling highlighted in gold leaf.</p><br>
<p>Church artwork references both the prairie setting of the church and the German ancestry of its parishioners; capitals are adorned with sunflowers and Saint Joseph is wearing a Bavarian hat. Of particular note are 31 stained glass windows, which depict the Assumption of Mary and the Flight into Egypt among other scenes.</p><br>

<p>Although the first Catholic services were held as early as 1888, at the Letcher School, the small community was not able to muster the resources to build a church until 1900. This structure, of balloon frame and clapboard construction, is "a vernacular example of late Gothic Revival architecture." It was damaged by a tornado in 1924, but repaired and returned to use.</p><br>
<p>St. Scholastica was canonically recognized as a parish from 1913 to 1979; although the cemetery remains active, it is no longer a community of the Diocese of Sioux Falls. The property was converted to a residence.</p><br>
<p>The church is cruciform in plan. It has balloon frame construction on a high poured concrete foundation, and is covered by clapboards.</p><br>
<p>The rectory is a two-story house which was deemed notable as "a well preserved example of the American Foursquare style which incorporates elements of the earlier Colonial Revival and Queen Anne traditions."</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The town of Jefferson was settled in 1859, predominantly by French Canadians. Catholic services were held occasionally before the arrival of the first permanent priest, Father Pierre Boucher, in 1867. A small log building to the north of the present church had been used as a schoolhouse and chapel since 1862. Father Boucher was responsible for a pastorate which extended across the Southeastern Dakota Territory, centered on the 25 French-Canadian families in Jefferson. The adjacent churchyard contains a large wooden cross, the replacement for a rude cross erected in May, 1876, when Father Boucher led an eleven-mile pilgrimage, ending in the churchyard at Jefferson, invoking divine aid against the besetting grasshopper plague. Father Boucher died in 1900 in Quebec.</p><br>
<p>Soon after the arrival of Father Boucher, a large wooden church was built and served until 1890, when the current church was erected, during the pastorate of Father Cyrille St. Pierre. In 1889 a school and convent were built and these were replaced by the present parochial school building in 1951.</p><br>
<p>The Rev. Charles F. Robinson was the pastor from 1894 until 1924 and he is buried in churchyard.</p><br>
