Catholic Scouting America celebrated Mass at the 2026 National Jamboree. The Most Reverand Evelio Menjivar-Ayala, Bishop of Wheeling- Charleston and the Most Reverand Michael Fisher, Bishop of Buffalo were the co-celebrants.
Bishop Fisher gave a moving homily on Reverence as Scouts. He is an Eagle Scout and recipient of the Ad Altare Dei award. We are blessed to have him as our Episcopal Liaison to the USCCB.
