Another group of hunters from across the diocese is preparing for the 9th annual Bishop’s Charity Hunt.
This year’s Bishop’s Charity Hunt will benefit Broom Tree Youth and Family Camp.
It will be held September 27-28 at Grand Slam Hunts near Kimball.
Last year, close to 100 individuals took to the fields during the event.
Through the generosity of those who participated, last year’s hunt raised over $37,000 for Religious Education and the Broom Tree Youth and Family Camp.
Bishop Robert Carlson has praised the people of the diocese for supporting the charity events he hosts since the money raised goes toward diocesan projects that help different groups or projects.
The charity hunt has helped the diocese step closer to the dream of seeing the family/youth camp at Broom Tree Farm completed.
“The camp will provide unprecedented facilities for area youth to experience God’s love and to connect in meaningful ways with peers and adults who care,” the bishop has said.
Following the Bishop’s Charity Hunt, there will be two days for the Bishop’s Youth Hunt.
The first youth hunt date is October 2 for ages 12-15.
It will be held at the Spader family farm near Howard.
Later in the month on October 30, young people 16 and older will be able to take part in the Bishop’s Youth Hunt at Broom Tree Farm near Irene.
The Catholic Foundation for Eastern South Dakota coordinates all the hunt activities including getting sponsors to support the hunts.
