Dedication and Blessing  – August 20, 2022 (Part 2 to follow at a later time.)

Girl Scouts were happy to welcome our new members as we began our new year of scouting. We began the year with our bridging ceremony held at Big Oak Park. Our older girls had an opportunity to camp at Camp Grove Point, enjoying a night hike and a campfire cookout. The girls showed their community spirit while marching in the Smyrna Homecoming Parade. The girls showed off their artistic talents at a paint night where they painted pictures of pumpkins. Badges are being earned already, as newer girls learn the Girl Scout Way, and older girls learned the skills it takes to be a Special Agent. If you know girl who would like to join in on the fun and learning, please contact Tracie Bruno at gscbsu31@gmail.com. Girls in grades K-12 are welcome to join at any time.

Our Annual All Saint’s Parade took place on October 31, 2021 at 9:10am. All children of the parish were welcomed to attend. Children dressed as a saint and/or held an object that represented their saint. Each child should wore a sign or tag saying what saint they were representing. This year, following the Parade of Saints, the children walked around to collect candy/goodies given out by the different ministries/committees and groups of our parish. This was definitely an exciting way to celebrate the Saints!

Thanks to the many ministries that participated: Pastoral and Finance Councils, Liturgy, Christian Formation, Parish & Family Life, Agape, Sodality, Knights of Columbus, Columbiettes, Squires, the Confirmation Class and the Parish Staff – and to the many families that came out to support this fun event!
