Prayer ~ Walking

It’s listening in silence

to the leaves

whispering in a breeze.

It’s hearing the first sounds

of the birds in Spring.

It’s listening to our thoughts

about things we’ve forgotten

to do for ourselves and others,

while talking with Him. By Donna Bauman

From The Catholic Reader Vol. 14

2014-2015 High School Boys & Girls Basketball Sign-Up

St. Mary will have on-line sign-up for CYO HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL for boys & girls who are

parishioners of St. Mary of the Assumption in grades 9 -12

Junior Varsity is for 9th and 10th grade only - Varsity is 9th through 12th grade

High school basketball teams are parish based. ONLY parishioners of St. Mary of the Assumption are eligible to sign-up to play. Players from a different parish MUST sign up to play for their parish! If, and

only if, a player’s parish does not sponsor a team is that player eligible to play for the next clos-est parish to his/her home address. If St. Mary's is the next closest parish, then the player must get approval from their parish's Athletic Director to leave that parish to play for St. Mary's. Once that is

approved an Eligibility Request Form (ERF) must be obtained (CYO website) and filled out completely then turned into St. Mary's Athletic Director for final signature. CYO has final say as to whether or not that

player is eligible to play for St. Mary's.

Sign-up is from Sunday, October 12th through Sunday, November 30th

The fee to play will be $100

Below is the link to sign-up your child or children https://www.sportspilot.com/Register/Family/Default.asp?ASOID=106204

If your child is NOT signed up by November 30th they will be placed

on a waiting list and are not guaranteed a roster spot.

Sign-up fees are non-refundable
