The Board of Sicangu Tikaga Okiciyapi/Habitat for Humanity has designated the Rosebud Episcopal Mission and the Episcopal Diocese of South Dakota as its Supporter of the Year for 2010. This award will be presented at the annual statewide meeting of Habitat Affiliates in Sioux Falls, South Dakota on November 13th.

The Rosebud Mission has supported the local affiliate of Habitat for Humanity from Habitats beginning with the leadership of Frank Gangone, late administrator of the Mission, and the first board president of the organization.

The Rev John Spruhan, Priest in Charge of the Mission, has supported the organization by holding several different board positions during the past 10 years.

The Bishop Hare Jubilee Center, jointly administered by the Mission and the Episcopal Diocese of South Dakota, has provided office space, storage space, a place to build homes before moving them to their final home sites and a place to stay for visiting church groups who work on Habitat homes.

The Rt Rev. John Tarrant, Bishop of the Diocese, has pledged his personal support for the organization at the Bishop Hare Jubilee Center for the future of this important ministry on the Rosebud Reservation.

As the recipient of this award last year, our congratulations go out to our brothers and sisters in both the Rosebud Mission and the Diocese of South Dakota for this well deserved recognition of support to Habitat!

What wonderful news to hear the Bishop pledge his personal support of this vital ministry.

How I wish we could join the celebration in Sioux Falls!

Anyone up for another road trip?!
