(CP) – A three-day national youth conference for teenagers ended with at least two people dead and 13 others injured on Sunday when a charter bus carrying a group of 15 from New Mexico crashed in Pueblo, Colorado. “It is with heavy hearts that we inform you that a group from New Mexico, which attended this weekend’s Steubenville of the Rockies Conference, were involved in a tragic and fatal bus accident. We

ask you to please pray for everyone involved and their families,” the Steubenville of the Rockies Youth Conference announced in a post on Facebook late Sunday. The Steubenville Youth Conferences, an outreach of Franciscan University of Steubenville, is a series of 25 conferences across North America that help teenagers celebrate Jesus every summer. The aim of the effort is to “build the Church by evangelizing, equipping, and empowering God’s children to become radical and joyful disciples.” READ MORE
