On the Road to Sainthood

The following information has been sent to us with requests for prayers. They have served God and their country as Scouts and are on the path to sainthood.

Stephen Kaszap

Stephen Kaszap was a Hungarian Boy Scout who entered the seminary. He dedicated his life to God, but died at age 19. Read his story and how Catholic Scouting organizations are trying to have him declared a saint by the 100th anniversary of Boy Scouting. He is likely the first Boy Scout to be considered for sainthood. Read more here.
