SUMMARY:12/19/15: Whole day event: Junior and Senior Cadets spiritual retreat
DESCRIPTION:Day event: 1000 to 2200.  Please arrive on time as to not interrupt spiritual talks. \nClass A uniforms. \nDay event: \nJunior and Senior Cadets spiritual retreat at the TSG1 at the Benedictine Monastery of Thien Tam in Kerens (near Corsicana)\, led by Father Portzer from Mater Dei. \nThe precise schedule is yet to be determined\, but it will have a typical camp schedule\, including lunch\, campfire and camp dinner.  The activities will be of the spiritual kind; lectures per age ranges\, adoration\, Mass\, meditation\, father/son(s) time.  The boys will of course have plenty of free time as well. \nIt is a day event by design.  This gives the opportunity to dads who cannot make it to send their boy(s) with another dad.  Just remember to fill out the “Chaperon Form ” (under “Legal Docs”). \nIt is a beautiful facility with a chapel that is made available to us throughout the day\, and with both outdoors and indoors options for the lectures.  Therefore\, the weather should not be a factor.  If it turns out to be nasty\, we will simply cancel the campfire dinner and pack up early. \nIt is a wonderful way to prepare for Christmas and for the kids to be exposed to monastic life. \nPlease register here below by adding the necessary number of tickets to your cart and checking out. \nOnly $5 per person this time\, to be paid on the website.

SUMMARY:Sat. 06/09/18: Volunteering Day at the Thien Tam Benedictine Monastery Blessed Sacrament Days
DESCRIPTION:Free event.  Class B uniforms.\n\nOur yearly service day at the monastery.  For those who are not familiar with Thien Tam\, they have been very supportive of us and host our yearly Advent Retreat.  They hosted our Family Camp last March.  TSG31 often camps on their premises.  They joined us last year and were planning on helping again this year.\n\nFather Dominique is expecting us.  Their event is HUGE!  It goes from Thursday evening to Sunday night.  We will be helping all day Saturday.  I told him we will arrive at 0930 and stay as long as we are needed.  He encourages us to stay for their night procession (ending at 2200)\, which is a sight to behold.  They again offered to share their meals with us.  If you are a fan of traditional Vietnamese food\, it will be a delight!  He recommended that we came in uniforms so people would know who we are.  They can use us for trash\, parking assistance\, cleaning\, serving meals\, and anything else we can be of help with.  They typically host around 3\,000 people for the event!!! It is quite impressive.\n\nThis would be an incredible experience\, great charitable work\,  and a wonderful way to express our gratitude to the monks for their hospitality.  With such large numbers\, this is definitely an opportunity for us to earn our “apostolate” title.  Who knows\, we could inspire someone to start a Vietnamese TSG troop! We made many great contacts in the previous years.  In between others\, this is how we met Bill Mureiko of the Restoration Homestead and I was invited to sit and visit with their guest of honor\, visiting Bishop Francois-Xavier Nguyen Van Thuan while he was having lunch.  He shared that he was very impressed with us\, encouraged our apostolate and assured us of his prayers.\n\nIt is a long day of hard\, hot\, sticky\, messy work.  But the appreciation and the admiration our organization receives for it are priceless.  I truly believe just seeing the boys serve so hard brings a additional ray of sunshine to the attendees.  The responses are always strong and touching.  We seem to give people hope that not all of the next generation is lost.  Our impact is big there\, and the prayers and resulting graces we receive are without a doubt numerous.\n\nHere is the monastery page: https://www.thientamosb.org/welcome

SUMMARY:Sat. 06/08/19 Day Event - Benedictine Monastery of Thien Tam Blessed Sacrament Days
DESCRIPTION:Free event but RSVP requested.\n\n\n                \n                        \n                            RSVP:\n                             \n                        \n                        \n								\n								We will not attend this event\n							Event Start Date* Last name of those NOT attending* \n          \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n        \n                        \n                        \n		\n		\n\nEach June for the last several years\, Troop 1\, along with others\, have spent a Saturday in June helping to make the Blessed Sacrament Days hosted by the Benedictine Monastery of Thien Tam a great success for the literally thousands of visitors they typically have by  busing tables and cleaning restrooms\, and in return\, the TSG gets some really excellent exposure to thousands of Catholics from all over\, and we the volunteers get to not only enjoy the Monastery and especially the Eucharistic Miracle chapel\, but we also get to enjoy some of the best site made Vietnamese food you can imagine.  Make no mistake about it\, this is a work day\, but it is a very good and rewarding workday.  This year\, the Blessed Sacrament Days run June  6-9\, and so like other years we are volunteering.\n\nSo\, I invite you to participate.  There is no cost\, just get yourself in Class A’s to the site (here is the location:  https://goo.gl/maps/WFq3PuUxznLHZzao6) and plan on staying from 9:30 am to 4 pm on Saturday the 8th of June or for as much of it as you  can.  Those of you who have stayed later in the evening on that Saturday have been able to experience the awesome procession in the evening.  Quite the thing to participate in.\n\nBecause Fr. Dominic at the monastery would like to get a rough idea of the number of TSG helpers within the next week\, please RSVP let me know if you and your boy(s) are planning on attending this year as soon as you can\, but no later than next Tuesday evening\, May 28th\, and sooner if you can.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThank you.  God bless.
