Hi everyone,
- Next Troop Meeting – Monday, October 30 – School Hall
Thanks to everyone for their assistance with Uncle Pete’s Ministry at our last meeting. We packed 60 bag lunches to add those being made by many parishioners. Thanks especially to Mrs. Albanito and Mrs. Pelrine for coordinating the effort.
Class A uniforms for all Scouts and Leaders... unless you are wearing your Halloween costume!
- Order of the Arrow Haunted Hike
A group of 16 Scouts and adults enjoyed the Order of the Arrow Haunted Hike last Friday night. The OA members did a great job setting up scary scenes that we walked through.

The parish Christmas creche is a little worn and tired, so we have worked with Fr. John about making some improvements and repainting it in time for the Advent and Christmas season. More details when we get a little closer to the date.
