CYO News!

As you can see, our CYO school year got off to a great start. 33 of our CYO angels arrived. Count it-all joy!
We were lucky enough to see Monsignor Sean as he was arriving home from his birthday dinner, and he
was kind enough to give us his blessing on the Church lawn. We also got to sing him the happy birthday
song! It was a joyful way to get the CYO year going!
It’s never too late to join CYO. If you have been away for a while, we LOVE it when you come back!!!!!
Just keep wearing your masks. Also watch out for each other as you are coming and going. Bring a friend!
See you this Sunday, September 26, from 7:30-8:45!!
Can’t wait!
Mrs. Reilly
