St. George Feast Day April 23rd
St. George is the patron saint of scouting – as he is one who epitomizes the qualities of selflessness and both moral and physical courage which is seen as being among the aims of scouting. Review this saint with your son on April 23rd perhaps by reading the following prayer.

“Faithful servant of God
and invincible martyr, Saint George;
favored by God with the gift of faith,
and inflamed with an ardent love of Christ,
thou didst fight valiantly
against the dragon of pride,
falsehood, and deceit.
Neither pain nor torture,
sword nor death could part thee
from the love of Christ.

I fervently implore thee
for the sake of this love
to help me by thy intercession
to overcome the temptations that surround me,
and to bear bravely
the trials that oppress me,
so that I may patiently carry the cross
which is placed upon me;
and let neither distress nor difficulties
separate me from the love of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

Valiant champion of the Faith,
assist me in the combat against evil,
that I may win the crown promised to them
that persevere unto the end.”

You can come any time from 9 – 11 am. Bring gloves, rakes, wheel barrows, and shovels. Plan on spreading mulch and picking up trash around the grounds to beautify our Charter Organization.
