| St. Vincent Parish 1203 Wood Street P.O. Box 130 Springfield, South Dakota (605) 369-2247 Fr. Gerald J.Thury Mass time: Sunday @ 10:30 a.m. The parish at Springfield is the older of our two parishes since it was established in 1880. In 1940, a tornado destroyed the Church of St. Vincent. In 1941 the church from Running Water was moved to Springfield and it became a mission of St. Leo's in Tyndall. When the new church was built in Tyndall, the parish was closed in 1948 and the Catholics of Springfield came to Tyndall. The dream of a church in Springfield continued and under the leadership of Bishop Lambert Hoch and Msgr. Leonard Zwinger, St. Vincent's parish and a Newman center for the college was built and dedicated in 1972. |
