Two Scouting Faith Events at St. Maurice
On Sunday, March 14, 2010, at the 10:00 am Mass, Sr. Judith, grade school principal, has invited Scouts to attend Mass in uniform and be given a blessing by Fr. John during the Mass.

On Sunday, March 21, 2010, at the 12 Noon Mass, we will celebrate national Scout Sunday by attending and participating in the worship roles of the Mass. This Mass on March 21st is the rescheduled celebration that was canceled in February due to the snow storm. This is the Mass where our scouts are scheduled to take on the leadership roles during the Mass, as well as process in together and sit in the reserved pews on the tabernacle side of the church. ( I also think it will be a doughnut Sunday.)

I am sending this out because these two opportunities may be  confusing.  All Scouts are welcome to participate in both opportunities, but the scheduled Mass for our official Scout Sunday celebration is March 21 at 12 Noon.
