All set to barbecue at the annual Connor Summer Madness Sub Camp!
Connor Youth once again hosted the Connor Sub Camp for groups and individuals from all across the diocese at this year’s Summer Madness Festival in Portglenone.
Young people and their leaders were able to come and enjoy their meals together and discuss what they had heard at the festival.

One of the highlights of the sub camp was the annual Bishop’s Barbecue, as hundreds of burgers and sausages were flipped and sizzled to feed the approximate 150 in attendance.
Diocesan Youth Officer David Armstrong would like to thank all of the groups who made Summer Madness a truly special time this year, the leaders who were united in their partnership in the gospel and discipleship of the young people throughout the weekend and finally to the team who assisted in running the sub camp this year, ensuring that everyone was fed and had a wonderful time.
