Sharing the Spirit Celebration 2012
Catholic Scouting Image
An evening of celebrating, faith sharing, prayer, fun, and food. Bring your workbook and all project-related materials. Required for all The Spirit Alive recipients.

Date: February 16, 2012

Time: 7:00pm - 9:00pm

Place: Cardinal Rigali Center - Kenrick Board Room, Museum Room, and Chapel

Required for all Spirit Alive participants!

"I now know how important the gifts are, and if you let them fill you, you will become closer to God.” 

“I learned to be more open, to take risks and to have courage.”

“I understand how the Holy Spirit works in my life, and I am willing to share with anyone who asks.”

These are a few of the comments girls made about this year’s The Spirit Alive program, one of the eight faith-building programs sponsored by the Office of Catholic Scouting.  The Spirit Alive program, open to all girls in high school, is designed to help girls grow in their awareness of the Holy Spirit.  They learn how the Holy Spirit has manifested itself in the history of the people of God and the ways in which the Holy Spirit enlivens their own spirituality.  The program’s emphasis is on prayer, study of Scripture and documents of Vatican II, and service to others. 

After the girls complete the program, they attend an evening of faith sharing called “Sharing the Spirit”, and they receive their awards on Presentation Sunday at the Cathedral Basilica.  As one girl remarked about The Spirit Alive program, “It’s a great way to refresh your faith and remember how much you love being so close to God.”

Come Experience the Mission from God!!
Catholic Scouting Image
Come Join us at Catholic Adventure Week 2011 for the "Mission from God!"

Come Experience - Mission from God!

Join us....It's not too late to sign up!! 

We have Spots open just for YOU..... at Catholic Adventure Week

2011 for the  "Mission from God!"

Online Registration going on now!   www.stlbsa.org

For Registration Information, call the camping service department at 314-361-0600.

Our goal in providing this week for our Catholic scouts is to give them an experience of living their faith, growing in their faith, and loving their faith within the scouting movement and especially out in the wonders of God’s creation.

While at Swift for CAW, scouts will be camping with their individual troops, under their particular adult leadership.  Since a number of our participants are attending this camp in addition to their troop’s summer camp, there will be cases where a scout from a troop does not have a leader present at camp.  A “provisional troop” will be made for one of the camp sites, with leadership being provided by members of the Catholic Committee on Scouting, BSA.  In the past this system has worked very well, and scouts seem to mix easily with other scouts, without the tension that can be experienced at a normal summer camp.

While at CAW, scouts will be exposed to the entire High Adventure program offered at Swift.  Intertwined with the outstanding program offered by the Swift staff, there will be opportunities for prayer, religious instruction, and reflection.
