Ancient Diocese of Lead
The Roman Catholic Diocese of Lead in South Dakota (Dioecesis Leadensis in Latin) was created on August 4, 1902 by Pope Leo XIII.[1] The diocese covered the portion of South Dakota west of the Missouri River, a region sometimes known as West River. On August 1, 1930, the name of the diocese was changed to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Rapid City.[2]
In 1995, the Diocese of Lead was restored as a titular see with Bishop Joseph Perry being the first one to receive the titular see.[3]
