Construction of a soccer field and football field will start this week, a collaborative effort between two Southside parishes.
Our Lady of the Greenwood (OLG) and St. Francis and Clare are working together to create a new athletics field for Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) events. In addition to a soccer field, the facility will house separate fields for football practice and football games.
St. Francis and Clare donated six acres of its land, and OLG is financing the remainder of the project. While the initial intention was to provide a home field for OLG and St. Francis and Clare students, the two parishes will allow teams from other Southside schools to use the fields as well.
