Troops of St. George

The Troops of Saint George at St. Martin de Tours is for boys ages 6 - 18. Meetings are held following the 8am Latin Mass on First Saturdays. Older boys and dads are encouraged to help out and be a witness for the younger boys.

The Troops of Saint George (TSG) is a fraternal Catholic nonprofit apostolate for Priests, men, and young men looking for a life of adventure coupled with virtue. It aims to use the outdoors as our canvas and the Sacraments as our path to light the way for the formation of Holy Catholic men and boys. Whether called to the vocation of the Priesthood, the Religious Life, or that of Holy fatherhood, our fathers and sons will take a prayerful pilgrimage together to fulfill Christ’s desire for them to grow in virtue and in their Holy Catholic faith as they journey toward Heaven.

Initially founded in 2013, we have become a collection of troops that do the following:
 - Experience reverent and beautiful Masses on camping trips
 - Pray the Rosary with other men around fire pits in the freezing cold
 - Catch a Fish Friday meal by fishing at the local campsite
 - Go to confession with our Priests while kneeling on moss in the woods
 - Teach our sons archery, rockclimbing, marksmanship, fishing, survival skills…and Catholic virtues
 - Foster a love for the Priesthood and a reverence for the Sacrament of Matrimony
 - Support our local Parish, our Priests, our Bishops, and community by being available for works of mercy and service
Those wishing to join or assist should contact the Parish Office for more information.
