Boy Scouts from Troup 303 receive the Ad Altare Dei medal

On Saturday, January 30, 2016, 10 Scouts from Troop 303 were awarded the Ad Altare Dei medal by Bishop Fitzgerald in the 2016 Scout Mass at the Cathedral Basilica of SS. Peter and Paul. The Scouts began working on the medal in September, 2014, under the leadership of Mike McCabe, Joe Rakszawski and Stan Jaskiewicz. (Jack Kraynak also completed the requirements for the medal, but was unable to attend the Mass.)  Troop 303 is sponsored by Corpus Christi Parish.
