BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA

The Boy Scouts of America is one of the nation's largest and most prominent values-based youth development organizations. The BSA provides a program for young people that builds character, trains them in the responsibilities of participating citizenship, and develops personal fitness.

CUB SCOUTS

Cub Scouting is a year-round family-oriented part of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) program designed for boys who are in the first through fifth grade. Parents, adult leaders, and chartering organizations work together to achieve the purposes of Cub Scouting, including character development, spiritual growth, good citizenship, personal achievement, and preparation for Boy Scouts, among others.

GIRL SCOUTS

Girl Scouting helps girls develop their full individual potential, relate to others with increasing understanding, skill, and respect, develop values to guide their actions and provide the foundation for sound decision-making, and contribute to the improvement of society through their abilities, leadership skills, and cooperation with others.

BEREAVEMENT MINISTRY

The Bereavement Ministry is a quiet ministry in our parish.  Some team members have assisted grieving families by offering closing prayers at the funeral home prior to the funeral Mass at church.

This has been on hold during COVID.  Others now are offering written support to families after the death of a loved one and maintain contact with them for one year.  Cards and leaflets are also sent when appropriate. We are involved in the All Souls' Day Mass of Remembrance and before the pandemic, have sponsored a light breakfast following.  There are three or four short meetings during the year.  

If you would like to become a member of this rewarding, very flexible ministry, contact the Parish Office or Em Romer at [email protected]
