Junior Girl Scouts Troup #107
On Saturday, January 28th and Sunday, January 29th, the 5th and 6th grade Junior Girl Scouts from SSPP’s Troop #107 will be collecting donations after all Masses with the goal of purchasing robes for the student choir. The girls are working towards an important milestone in their scouting journey, the Bronze Award, and have chosen to focus their efforts on supporting the student choir to glorify the Lord. This will be the only weekend they will be collecting at church. Please consider helping them if you are able. Anything is appreciated…thank you!

Also…on Wed. Feb. 1st from 5-8 pm, the troop will be hosting a fundraising night at Culver’s in Collinsville. Culver’s will donate a percentage of its sales during those three hours to the troop for the purpose of the purchasing school choir robes. Please eat dinner out, or drive-thru that evening to support a great cause! Thank you!

Congratulations!
SSPP alumus Matthew Wilde attained his Life Scout class rank and is preparing to become an Eagle Scout sometime this year. Matthew was also elected Senior Patrol for his troop.
