Alexis at her Religious Medal Ceremony

On Satureday, March 7th, Alexis and 12 (one couldn't make it to mass) other girls received their Catholic Relgious Medals at the 5 PM mass. Each level earned a different medal. This took roughly one year for all of the girls to earn. They had to visit shrines, go to different servies, complete community service and more. This was beyond any other requirements for other awards or patches. Alexis and her friend Angie, did this together. It was a great learning experience for all! She is all set to begin the next level (Jr. Girl Scouts)medal.

Also, if you could say an extra prayer for the leader, Michelle. She made sure the girls completed the needed requirements and overall their cheerleader. On the Thursday before this, she was hospitalized. She learned that she is battling blood cancer. She couldn't not be at mass and I know how proud she was of these young ladies.
