Patrick Brannigan Achieves the Rank of Eagle Scout

We are pleased to announce that a member of our parish, Patrick Brannigan, has achieved the rank of Eagle Scout through the Boy Scouts of America Scouts BSA Program. He is a member of Troop 1 North Scituate.

Eagle Scout is the highest rank achievable through the program. Since it was first awarded in 1912, more than 2 million young men have achieved this rank.

Patrick has been a member of the Trinity Community since birth, having been baptized in the parish. He is well-known, well-loved, and well-respected.

Rev. Johanna gave the invocation at the Court of Honor ceremony, celebrating Patrick’s and others’ achievements.
