| Under the guidance of Christian Brother Barnabas McDonald (1865-1929), the first Columbian Squires circle was instituted in 1925. Membership in the Squires is for Catholic boys between the ages of 12 and 17. Squires' activities vary from spiritual to active service for the Church and their community. Each circle elects officer members from their own rank, teaching skills of leadership and responsibility. Monaghan Council does not currently provide a Squires Program. However, periodically reviews the possibility of initiating a Squires Program. | | |
