Pack 32 Religious Emblems Program Mission:
The mission of this webpage is to promote, cultivate and grow the spriritual formation of the youth, raise vocational awareness and cheerfully provide community service to others.
Dear Pack 32 Parent,
To celebrate Priesthood Sunday, October 25, the Fort Worth Catholic Committee on Scouting has asked a select number of Catholic Scout units to help promote the special day by distributing “Spiritual Bouquets” to our Priests.
So what is Priesthood Sunday? Oct.25, 2009, is a special day set to honor Priesthood in the United States. It is a call for parishioners to honor Christ as Priest and the men who were called to be his priests on earth. It is also a day to honor all religious and to focus on the importance of vocations. Catholic Scout Packs, Troops and Venture Crews are encouraged to make a special effort to involve the youth in programs of making appreciation cards to be presented after Mass on the October 25th or at an event planned in your parish.
The Spiritual Bouquets are greeting cards-appreciation cards that are being distributed but Scout youths in several Catholic-sponsored packs and troops to their pastor, associate pastor or priests. The youths simply write on the card in spaces provided the number of masses, communions, stations, other prayers they are offering to God in the priest's name. Thus, they are gifting a spiritual bouquet in the name of the Priest. The youths then sign their names, Scout unit, and town. The youths may write on the card some simple greeting approved by their parents. The cards have been printed and provided compliments of the Fort Worth Catholic committee. Each Cub Scout or Boy Scout's parents will provide the stamp.
Would you please help your son complete the cards and then help him in sending them to any priest of your choice. It may be a SEAS priest, or any other Priest you know. The Spiritual Bouquets will be available for your pick-up in the Scout Drawer located in the SEAS School/Office workroom.
Thank you for supporting our Priest,
John
