Off to Louisville!!!

The 2008 Biennial Conference is this week. This is an opportunity for Scouters from across the country to come together, share new ideas, meet new people, reconnect with old friends and celebrate the special relationship between The Catholic Church and BSA. In addition, there will be meetings of the various committees and leadership of the National Catholic Committee on Scouting.

I will post here throughout the week from Louisville (I fly out tomorrow morning). Please keep the NCCS and those travelling in your prayers.

Bishop Coleman prepares to distribute religious emblems to scouts.

Thank you to all who were a part of our annual scouting mass. Scouting and the Catholic Church have had a long and fruitful relationship. It was nice to be able to celebrate the accomplishments of our scouts who earned religious emblems, as well as to recognize the work that has been done by adult volunteers in scouting and those who serve on the Catholic Committee on Scouting. Now work begins for the future!
