2023 Advent Award

Duty of God is a special program offered to all youth involved in the Boy Scouts of America, Girl Scouts USA, American Heritage Girls, and Trail Life USA.  The purpose is to gain a deeper understanding of our faith and earn a special recognition.  The scouts are asked to attend Mass for seven weeks, from Dec 3 - Jan 14, and briefly write about something they heard in the homily each week.
 
Participants who complete the program will receive a special certificate and a choice of commemorative pins.  Check out the flyer and reporting page for details.
