SUMMARY:National Duty to God Breakfast @ BSA National Annual Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Cost:  $75 \nGuest Speaker:   \nBishop Michael William Fisher \nRegister \n \nDuty to God has been a tenet of Scouting since the very beginning of our organization in 1910. The Duty to God Breakfast is a perfect opportunity to come together and be inspired by works greater than our own\, and to celebrate and recognize individuals who have exemplified their faith through their actions. We are excited to have Bishop Michael William Fisher join us at the National Annual Meeting as our Guest Speaker for the Duty to God Breakfast. \nBishop Michael William Fisher was born on March 3\, 1958 in Baltimore\, Maryland. He is the eldest of five children\, two sisters and two brothers. As a youth\, he played Little League baseball\, and wrestled\, and was active in the Boy Scouts\, and attained the rank of Eagle Scout. Bishop Fisher recalls always working\, starting as an eight-year-old paperboy for The Baltimore Sun. Bishop Fisher attended the Baltimore Polytechnic Institute high school\, and received a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and Accounting at the University of Maryland in 1984. \nWith his business and accounting degree\, Bishop Fisher worked as a comptroller for a psychiatric practice in Bethesda. Feeling compelled to discern a vocation to the priesthood\, he entered seminary at Mount Saint Mary’s Seminary in Emmitsburg\, Maryland in 1986. He was ordained a priest for the Archdiocese of Washington by Cardinal James A. Hickey at the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle on June 23\, 1990. \nUpon ordination\, Bishop Fisher was assigned to Sacred Heart parish\, La Plata. He was appointed pastor at Holy Family parish in Hillcrest Heights in 1995 and then pastor at St. John Neumann parish in Gaithersburg in 1999. He was named a Chaplain to His Holiness\, a distinction that comes with the title of “Monsignor\,” by Pope John Paul II in 2005. Later that year\, he was appointed Vicar General for the Apostolates\, where he oversaw the archdiocesan ministries for education\, ethnic ministries\, social justice and service\, parish life and youth ministry. In 2006 Cardinal Donald Wuerl appointed him Vicar for Clergy and Secretary for Ministerial Leadership\, a position he has held for the last twelve years. In this role\, Bishop Fisher oversees the recruitment\, formation\, and care of the clergy for the archdiocese. \nHe was named an auxiliary bishop for the Archdiocese of Washington by Pope Francis on June 8\, 2018 and ordained to the episcopate on June 29\, 2018 at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. \nOn December 1\, 2020\, Pope Francis appointed Bishop Michael William Fisher\, Auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Washington\, as the 15th Bishop of Buffalo. \nBishop Fisher attributes much of his call to the priesthood to the love and sacrifices of his parents and family\, the constant prayers of a grandmother\, the encouragement and example of wonderful priests\, and a life-long desire to serve and leave this world a better place. Bishop Fisher’s family has roots across Maryland and Washington D.C.: his father was a Baltimorean and his mother was a Washingtonian\, and extended family reside throughout the region. \nIn his spare time Bishop Fisher loves to read and study history\, especially American and Church history. He enjoys camping and hiking in the mountains and touring historical sites. He once attempted to plant an orchard on a few acres of land in the North Mountains of West Virginia. Bishop Fisher is a life-long Baltimore Orioles fan\, but he will root for the Washington Nationals …when they don’t play the O’s!
