One Catholic Family Lenten Almsgiving Project for Red Cloud Indian School
Pine Ridge, South Dakota

Red Cloud is a private, Catholic school located on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in Oglala Lakota County, the second poorest county in the United States. Per capita income is $6,286 and 61% of children live below the poverty line.

Red Cloud is a beacon of HOPE for these children and provides them with a quality education, so they can pursue their dreams, on or off the reservation.

Please help a child attend Red Cloud by setting aside the monies saved as a result of your self-denial through the Lenten season. We ask that you consider an offering of $300 although any amount will help educate a child at Red Cloud.

Fr.Dudach a former Pastor at St. Helen brought the situation of the Lakota people to his parish in 2005 and they have been supporting Red Cloud Indian school ever since.
