In the News--Our Parish Sports Program

Faithful readers of The Monitor were surely pleased to see our CYO athletes featured in the November 19 issue (p. 36). Our basketball players (Chris Genicola, Patrick Prendergast, and Conor Monahan) were pictured presenting the offertory gifts at the season's opening Mass at the CYO center.

Olivia Okupski was show in play against St. Paul's, Princeton. We won that Opening Day game 81-15 on the back of seven points from Olivia.

In an opening day game against St. Ann, Lawrenceville, Nick Wilke—the day's second highest CYO scorer—scored 22 points to lead our parish team to a 45-21 victory.

We are grateful to our new Sports Committee Chair, Romeo Laurente, and to Harry Wright who is stepping down after a two year term as chair. Thanks to all our coaches who devote time to mentoring our young parishioners and school students in the values of good sportsmanship.
