ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT!
Fr. Bill Fox (MA, MDiv, 2018), a priest for the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph, served as a chaplain for the recent National Scout Jamboree held from July 22-31, 2026, at Summit Bechtel Reserve in Glen Jean, West Virginia. The National Scout Jamboree is held roughly every four years. The 2026 Jamboree welcomed up to 30,000 Scouts and adult Scouters from across the United States, as well as a few Scouts from other countries. Fr. Fox served with two other priests, one permanent deacon and 40 other chaplains from other faith groups to serve the spiritual needs of Jamboree participants. He also worked with lay volunteers with Catholic Scouting America (formerly, the "National Catholic Committee on Scouting"), at the "Duty to God" tent, telling all visitors about our Catholic Faith.
Fr. Fox is an Eagle Scout and was an active adult Scout leader before he entered formation at Holy Apostles in 2013. He previously served as chaplain for the World Scout Jamboree, also held at Summit Bechtel, in 2019.
