Trip Plan for Scout Retreat

The theme for this year's retreat was "A Place at the Table". A small group from our troop attended and were welcomed with good weather and an excellent experience. In the morning troops from the Cleveland Diocese attended three sessions in the chapel led by Mr. Hickey, Sr. Juanita, and Fr. Bob. Fr. Bob's talk was especially interesting. He answered questions from the audience about what it was like to be in the Priesthood. A quick lunch followed by a Penance service and some afternoon activities. After supper we attended mass together in the Chapel. The evening activities were movies or karaoke, we went to the movies. Those participating in the retreat were Alex, Eric, Joey, Mr. Makowski, Mr. See, and Mr. Ulintz.
