The Troops of Saint George apostolate aims to use the outdoors as our canvas and the sacraments as our path to light the way for the formation of Holy Catholic men and boys. Whether called to the vocation of the priesthood, the religious life, or that of Holy fatherhood, our fathers and sons will take a prayerful pilgrimage together to fulfill Christ’s desire for them to grow in virtue and in their Holy Catholic faith as they journey toward heaven.
-Experience reverent and beautiful Masses on mountaintop vistas.
-Pray the Rosary with other men around fire pits in the freezing cold.
-Catch a Fish Friday meal by fly fishing for trout.
-Go to Confession with our priests while kneeling on moss in the woods.
-Teach our sons archery, rock climbing, marksmanship, fishing, survival skills…and Catholic virtues.
-Foster a love for the Priesthood and a reverence for the Sacrament of Matrimony.
-Support our local parish, our priests, our bishops, and community by being available for works of mercy and service.
Troop #201 is a new chartered group for the Chicago Land area. Shortly after our initiation, the boys experienced sleeping out in the elements, cooking over an open fire, praying the rosary in the mist, and hiking the trails. The hope is to help our sons to continue to grow in virtue and faith through God’s creation.
