cub scout

pilgrimage 

was held

Saturday  December 17,  2022

National Shrine of 

St. Rita of Cascia, 

1166 South Broad St., Philadelphia 

Summary:

Just wanted to take a moment to thank Chris Menna and his team for a great event.  We had about 40 folks (cubs and parents) show up for our "Blessed are the Peacemakers" day at the St. Rita Shrine.  One of the packs who came decided to come on the train to help their cubs have a true pilgrimage experience. Patrick and Fr. Joshua from the St. Rita Shrine could not have been more hospitable. Baker Mike, from Varallo Brothers Bakery, an iconic South Philly business, was kind enough to donate an unbelievable cookie tray. After the tour, scavenger hunt and patch program we celebrated Mass together.  I cannot wait to return, perhap even on her Feast day when 6000 roses will surround the Tabernacle!


Once Again Thank you for a great morning in South Philly.
