Ad Altare Dei - Religious Award

Ad Altare Dei - Religious Award
The purpose of the Ad Altare Dei (Latin for “To the Altar of God”) program is to help Roman Catholic Boy Scouts develop a fully Christian way of life in the faith community. The program is organized in chapters based on the seven Sacraments. The seven Sacraments are a primary means toward spiritual growth.
Participants must be over the age of 13, having completed the 6th grade before starting the program.
The program will be taught by two Troop 2 volunteers – Mrs. McCabe and Mrs. Schneider – on Sunday evenings. The program runs for several months, culminating with the presentation of the award at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross.
Scouts are encouraged to participate. A signup sheet was distributed on Sept. 19th at the Ham & Bean Dinner, and a mandatory parent/scout meeting with the counselors is scheduled for Sunday, September 25th at 7:30 PM.

Classes will begin soon after.
