The Troops of Saint George is a fraternal Catholic nonprofit apostolate for priests, men, and young men looking for a life of adventure coupled with virtue. Initially founded in 2013 by Catholic author and professor Dr. Taylor Marshall we have become a collection of troops that do the following:

What we do

• experience reverent and beautiful Masses on mountaintop vistas

• pray the Rosary with other men around fire pits in the freezing cold

• catch a Fish Friday meal by fly fishing for trout

• go to confession with our priests while kneeling on moss in the woods

• teach our sons archery, rockclimbing, marksmanship, fishing, survival skills…and Catholic virtues

• foster a love for the priesthood and a reverence for the sacrament of Matrimony

• support our local parish, our priests, our bishops, and community by being available for works of mercy and service

What we do at Holy Family Troops of Saint George

The Holy Family Troops of Saint George is a ministry follow the guidelines aiming to use the outdoors as a canvas and the Sacraments as a path to light the way for their formation.  Fathers, guardians, and other fatherly figures are strongly encouraged to join their sons in this life of adventure.  Whether called to the vocation of the priesthood, the religious life, or that of the holy fatherhood, our fathers and sons will take a prayerful pilgrimage together to fulfill Christ’s desire for them to grow in virtue and in their Holy Catholic faith as they journey toward heaven.

We meet once a month at the parish, and offer occasional camping trips and other fun adventures, including Weber State football games.
