February is National Scout Month. The theme of the Mass is "Christ - Yesterday, Today and Forever." According to Reverend John B. Wendrychowicz, Director and Chaplain of the Archdiocesan Boy Scouts, this special Mass is the Catholic salute to Boy Scouts, founded in 1910. The celebration acknowledges those scouts who have received awards pertaining to their religious formation. During the Mass, Cardinal Bevilacqua will present the Ad Altare Dei (To the Altar of God) award to 91 boy scouts. Recognition will also be given to the recipients of the Light of Chris award, which is presented to younger cub scouts, and the Parvuli Dei (Children of God) award, which is presented to old cub scouts.
