SACRED HEART

Prior to 1882, all Catholics in and around Springfield attended the "old" Immaculate Conception Church on North Campbell. An unclear source of dissatisfaction on the part of the northern residents of the parish prompted the people to write Bishop John Hogan in Kansas City requesting their own parish, although it was no more than 10 blocks to Immaculate Conception... The consultative body that works with the pastor to define the vision of what the parish is called to be. Develops and implements the pastoral plan. Ten persons are elected to staggered three-year terms and up to five others are appointed by the pastor to one-year terms. Contact the parish office to volunteer.
