St. Peter’s has already raised a total of $28,785 of their $37,925 goal – St. Dominic’s has raised a total of $6,825 of their $10,295 goal.  This is an extraordinary start and we are grateful to all those who have shown their commitment to help further the ministries and programs of the Bishop’s Fund.

My name is Adam DeBlasio. Currently, I am a Life Scout in Christ the King Troop 120 working on my Eagle Scout Project to become an Eagle Scout. I am a parishioner here at St. Peter’s Church and a sophomore at Mount Saint Joseph Academy.

 

My Eagle Scout Project that I would like to do is to cut down and stump the three trees that are near the Shrine where the statues of Jesus, Joseph and Mary are located. Then I will have topsoil brought in to level it off and I will reseed the area. I will bring in cedars and plant them in back of the statues too. Then I would want to have the statues, altar rail, and benches cleaned and sealed. Also, I would like to fix the altar rail.

 

The reason why I want to do this project is because of the violent windstorms we have been getting in the last few years. Since the tree limbs are so big, during a future windstorm one of the limbs could break off and fall on the statues, which would destroy them. Since they are Italian marble they are very hard to fix because they are very expensive. Also, since the three trees are pine trees, sap gets on the statues and gets them dirty. If I cleaned them this year, in a few years they would not look like I cleaned them at all if the trees were still there.

 

There are many memories that have to do with the Shrine. My dad told me that St. Peter’s School used to ring the bell at lunchtime in the month of May fifteen minutes before they had to go back in school and pray the Rosary in front of the Shrine. As many of you that recall, who went to St. Peter’s School, you did the same thing too. Also, I am a football player at MSJ and after every Thursday or Friday practice before every game (depending on a Friday or Saturday game) we pray in front of the Shrine. At home games we pray at the Shrine just before we enter the field. This has been a long standing tradition.

 

The way the Eagle Scout Project has to be done is through donations, fundraising and volunteer workers. Next week I will be here asking for donations at the Saturday night and Sunday morning Masses, and at the end of them there will be people collecting donations at the doors. Hopefully, when I come in to talk to you next week, I will have an estimate on how much it will cost to do the project.

 

Thank you in advance for your generosity!
