St Charles Borromeo Catholic Church In South Dakota Is A Work Of Art

With 86% of South Dakotans describing themselves as Christian, it should come as no surprise that the Mount Rushmore State is brimming with beautiful churches of all sizes. While many of these places of worship are well-known, others are somewhat hidden and little-known, including the work of art that is the St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church:

Located on the campus of the St. Francis Mission, St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church is one of 7 parishes on mission grounds that serves the 20,000+ Lakota (Sioux) Native Americans on the Rosebud Indian Reservation.
