Fathers Thomas Vassalotti and Joseph Zwosta, the diocesan chaplains for scouting, conducted a day of retreat for scouts from the diocese at Alpine Scout Camp in New Jersey. About 110 Boy and Girl Scouts attended.

Father Vassalotti is shown preaching at the Father Barry Frazzitta Memorial Chapel. Below, all participants posed for a group photo in the lodge where Mass was celebrated. The day ended with an evening candlelight Living Rosary. The day featured progress on religious emblems and adults working on Catholic scouter development.

DeSales Media Group, the parent company of The Tablet newspaper, was the sponsor of the activities held to honor Fathers Daniel Weiscopf and Dennis Farrell, two deceased Brooklyn priests who had long been active in local scouting programs.
