Show appreciation for your Priest all Catholic Scouters and friends of Catholic Scouting: Many of us wear multiple hats in Catholic Scouting and are active in our parish community. Here is an event that you can wear two hats.Take time to make a difference in the life of a priest, your pastor, Catholic Chaplain, or your bishop. The 5th annual Priesthood Sunday, which is October 26, 2008, is a special day set aside to honor a priest and affirm the priesthood in the Church in the United States. We are called to help parishioners 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 Church vocations. With the help of informed leaders, Catholic Scout Packs, Troops and Venture Crews can make a special effort to involve youth to make appreciation cards to be presented after Mass on October 26 or at an event planned in their parish.

Be leaders in your parish and Scouting Units, print the attachment on this link: Priesthood Sunday and help plan a Priesthood Sunday .

Consider having your Cubs and Boy Scouts and Venturers and Girl scouts make Priest Appreciation Cards for your pastor, priest friends and the Diocesan Chaplain for Catholic Scouting and your local ordinary.
