SLEEP OUT SUCCESS


On November 18-19, a group of intrepid volunteers braved subfreezing temperatures to sleep outside in the school parking lot in solidarity with the ministry work of the Covenant House of Illinois, a shelter for homeless youth on Chicago's west side. Led by Denny Conway and members of our St. Vincent DePaul Society and our Human Concerns Committee, the group raised awareness of the plight of homeless and at-risk youth of our city.
