Serving Christ and Connecting Catholics in Western North Carolina
MONROE — On Saturday, Oct. 18, members of Girl Scout Troop 3497 from St. Matthew Church wrapped up their six-month journey toward the Girl Scout Bronze Award with a clean-up day at the Missionaries of the Poor in Monroe.
The girls learned about service, teamwork and caring for their community as they worked together on a project that will make a lasting difference.
They hope to inspire others to visit and volunteer at the mission, founded by former Bishop Peter Jugis and serving as the only Missionaries of the Poor site in the U.S.
