TSG Motto: Parati Semper
The motto of the Troops of Saint George is “Parati Semper” which also comes from Saint Peter, our first Pope:
But sanctify the Lord Christ in your hearts, being prepared always (parati semper) to satisfy every one that asketh you a reason of that hope which is in you. (1 Peter 3:15)
Dominum autem Christum sanctificate in cordibus vestris parati semper ad satisfactionem omni poscenti vos rationem de ea quae in vobis est spe (1 Peter 3:15, Latin Vulgate)
TSG Oath
The TSG Oath was written by the Apostle Paul (1 Timothy 4:12), and defines the five traits of the man who seeks to be a disciple of Our Lord Jesus Christ by patterning his life after Saint George of Lydda.
“Set an example for those who believe:
- in speech (in verbo),
- conduct (conversatione),
- love (caritate),
- faith (fide),
- and purity (castitate).”
(1 Timothy 4:12)

About the Troops
Troop 423 meets at St. Gregory the Great in Gray, ME on the 1st Wednesday of the Month from
6PM - 8PM. TSG 423 is sponsored by Parish of the Holy Eucharist.
The Troops of Saint George (TSG) is a fraternal Catholic nonprofit apostolate for priests, men, and young men looking for a life of adventure coupled with virtue. Initially founded in 2013, we have become a collection of troops that do the following:
experience reverent and beautiful Masses on mountaintop vistas
pray the Rosary with other men around fire pits in the freezing cold
catch a Fish Friday meal by fly fishing for trout
go to confession with our priests while kneeling on moss in the woods
teach our sons archery, rockclimbing, marksmanship, fishing, survival skills…and Catholic virtues
foster a love for the priesthood and a reverence for the sacrament of Matrimony
support our local parish, our priests, our bishops, and community by being available for works of mercy and service
Once you experience TSG you will see how we are able to transform not only individual men, but entire parishes.
Mission Statement
“The Troops of Saint George apostolate aims to use the outdoors as our canvas and the sacraments as our path to light the way for the formation of Holy Catholic men and boys. Whether called to the vocation of the priesthood, the religious life, or that of Holy fatherhood, our fathers and sons will take a prayerful pilgrimage together to fulfill Christ’s desire for them to grow in virtue and in their Holy Catholic faith as they journey toward heaven.”
