St. E's charters Boy Scout Troop 500

In the beginning of April Fr. Dave was approached by a Boy Scout Leader about the potential of chartering a Boy Scout Troop at St. Elizabeth's.

The initial number of Boy Scouts starting the troop was estimated at 5 boys but at their first meeting there were 10 and more are suspected to be on the way.

Seder and Maundy Thursday

Holy Week began with the procession of the palms on Palm Sunday with skies that were crystal clear with few small billowy white clouds to accent the vivid blue. The service began outside and after the opening liturgy all processed in sing Hosanna in the highest. Filled with excitement and anticipation it was a morning much like that in Jerusalem over 2000 years ago. Then on Thursday night the mood shifted with the Seder dinner and the transition from a joyous supper to the stripping of the altar.

6th Sun of Easter - More than a feeling

Posted May 13th, 2012
