The National Catholic Committee on Scouting offers programs to help young people and their families learn and live their faith.
Our Footsteps of the Saints program teaches young people about holy men and women who have lived heroic lives of virtue.
Venerable Pierre Toussaint (1766-1853) was born in Haiti as a slave and died a free man in New York. He is known for his entrepreneurship and generosity towards the poor. He is credited by many with being the father of Catholic Charities in New York. Pierre was instrumental in raising funds for the first Catholic orphanage and began the city’s first school for black children. During a Yellow Fever epidemic when many of the city’s political leaders fled the city in search of healthier rural climates, Pierre Toussaint cared for the sick and the dying. He was a successful entrepreneur, who did not hesitate to share the fruits of his labor with others.
Our presenter will be Deacon Mel Tardy, a permanent deacon in the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend (Indiana). Deacon Mel works at the University of Notre Dame, and he is a popular presenter throughout our diocese. He is also the president of the National Black Catholic Clergy Caucus. He is on the boards of the National Black Catholic Congress, the National Association of Black Catholic Deacons, and the African American Vocations Committee of the National Religious Vocation Conference.
During November, when we celebrate National Black Catholic History month, we invite you to join Deacon Mel for his presentation on Sunday, November 7th, 4-5pm. You can register by entering your email here. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfsf1T11u6IMnKnyVz3fqiJ3YFM3LwU7LlLdp0L_DmPCnQ6ig/viewform

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of a great leader/mentor to Troop 83, he will be greatly missed. Thank You Reverend Gebhart for all the years of service and dedication to the Scouting Program. Rest in Peace🙏🙏🙏🕊🕊
Today we learned of a great loss in the scouting community. Scoutmaster for 1954 - Homero Rios - passed away as of this morning. He is survived by his wife Paula Rios and their three sons. A scouting family through and through. The family has received countless prayers and blessings throughout this process and cannot thank the community enough for their support. Homer will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him. The scouting community will miss him immensely.
May you rest in peace sir. May the Lord bless you and keep you.
Registration is still open for IOLS and BALOO trainings the first weekend in October. Open to all "untrained" unit leaders, registered parents or committee members. Early registration will ensure all preparations are in place prior to your Camp Perry, BSA arrival.
