On April 2, 1978, Bishop Charles R. Koester presented the Marian Medal to Karen White, Kate Shea, and Maria Dilorenzo of Troop 2347, St. Roch’s. Girls from troops all over the St. Louis Archdiocese received their medals at the St. Louis Cathedral at this time. Liz Wright, Alex Hitchcock, and Jeanna Crawford, also of Troop 2347, participated in the ceremonies in the color guard.
Congratulations to Karen, Kate, and Maria, and to Mrs. Rita Magyar, who spent a year preparing the girls for this award.
Presently, Mrs. Magyar is working with four girls in their efforts to receive this award next year.
