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."
- Saint George, Pray for us.

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)
