Springfield Youth Conference;

A huge thank you to so many who helped to make our Springfield Youth Conference a success. Springfield area youth were able to come together to celebrate good food, games, adoration and Reconciliation on
Friday, July 17th. We wish to thank our own Fr Lewis Hejna, Fr Joseph Stoverink Fr Colby Elbert, Fr. Andrew
Williams and Fr Tom Kiefer. We would also like to thank Sister Grace Nguyen, Sister Abigail Marie and
Sister Cecilia Ann for their help in the organization of the event. The youth are also grateful to our Knights of
Columbus for their help in grilling the hamburgers and hot dogs. We also thank our musicians: Hayden Vaughn from IC and those who came from CCM, area youth leaders, and volunteers for their assistance and help. A special thank you to the Nwodo family for their donations of Andy’s and take home gifts for our participants and to our Youth Advisory Team who did so much work in planning. What a great evening for our young people as they were able to come together in a safe way, be with each other and share their Catholic
faith.
