At St. Thomas in Delmar, MICHAEL CONNOLLY and JOE FIERRO  of Troop 58 earned the rank of Eagle Scout.

This allows people the ability to search for family members and learn where they are buried. Joe’s project was to clear out and landscape an overgrown area adjacent to the rail trail and American Legion property.
