EAGLE COURT OF HONOR
Boy Scout

An Eagle Court of Honor was held for Patrick Thomas O’Connor, son of Tom and Agnes O’Connor of Turlock, on Nov. 29, 2010. Patrick is a 16-year-old junior at Turlock High School. He joined the Cub Scouts in 2000 and received the Arrow of Light, the highest award in Cub Scouts, in 2005. In 2007, he was chosen by the troop to become eligible for membership in the Order of the Arrow.

His Eagle Scout service project was to build a storage room at Our Lady of Assumption Church in Turlock, where he is an active member of the parish and Life Teen Youth Group.

Patrick is a member of the Turlock High varsity water polo and swim teams. He is also a member of the Turlock High Portuguese Club, Mostan and winter and summer water polo clubs.
