Picture
To tipoff the 2015-16 basketball season, we will continue with our annual tradition of the Basketball Blessing. This is a special opportunity for our 230+ athletes and their families to receive a special blessing from Father Theo!

This year's basketball blessing will take place on SATURDAY, November 14, at the 5 p.m. mass. We ask that ALL players, parents, coaches and their families to attend wearing RED to show support and unity for the Athletics Ministry.

Keep in mind that collectively we will be playing more than 200 games "on the road" and the Basketball Blessing is a special celebration "at home." Let's make this a memorable, spiritual evening!

Please mark your calendar for Saturday, Nov. 14, at 5 p.m. And don't forget to wear RED!!!

We Need ​Senior Girls & Mite Boys

We had a fantastic registration period this year, but we're in need of some more Senior Girls (ages 14-18) and Mite Boys (ages 7-8). Our Senior Girls team currently has 5 girls and our Mites Boys 1 team currently has 6 boys. There are also a few spots with some of our I-Mites teams (ages 5-6) as well.

If you know of boys or girls who may be interested in playing this year, please spread the word and have them submit a Waiting List entry at:

The Waiting List is a first come, first serve system that we operate for all our age groups. If a roster spot comes available, we will make a fast appointment.

Celebration Mass – Nov. 24 – 6 p.m.

11/17/2013

 
This weekend a record 20 teams will tip-off the 2013-14 basketball season. On Sunday, November 24, Pastor Fr. Theo Trujillo will provide a special blessing for all our players and coaches. 

The blessing will be held during the Lifeteen Mass at 6 p.m. All players are encouraged to wear their basketball jersey to mass.  We also ask all coaches and parents to also wear red or white.

Help make this a special celebration for our basketball program. Let's blanket the pews with our church's colors! How wonderful it would be to have not only the more than 190 athletes in attendance, but their families, as well, rock'n the red.

God Bless You and Your Family,

Frank B. Allgood
