Welcome to the 2021 CYO Fall Sports Season at St. Rita Parish
As we close out the 2020/2021 school year for our St. Rita Parish Athletes, I reflect on the past fourteen months and each of the four seasons and how each one was different from the other. It included the unfortunate cancellation of the Spring 2020 track and lacrosse season. We did have sports in the 2020 Fall and Winter, but we weren’t quite sure what that would look like and if we’d even have a season. I feel fortunate that we had a successful 2021 Spring season where we watched our Track and Field, Rugrat Track, Lacrosse and Golf Teams participate in what is as close to a normal season as we could have hoped for. I want to thank all the parents, coaches and athletes for your understanding and patience as we navigated through the uncertainty of how our young people would be able to compete in their favorite sports. For now, let us look forward, not behind!
I am happy to announce that we are opening our 2021 CYO Fall sports registration. With the spring season wrapping up this week, the Diocesan CYO staff is working on the details of the structure of our Fall sports: Football, Soccer and Volleyball. I will keep you updated with new information as I receive it but, in the meantime, please refer to the Registration page for more information on what is available this Fall for St. Rita sports and register your athlete as soon as possible.
Thank you, Patrick McNamara - Athletic Director, St. Rita Parish
“It is not at first with our own hands that we pick the acorns and apples from the commonwealth of nature to nourish our own bodies. It is the hands of other people that supply the needs of our bodies, both in our infancy and beyond. For each of us lives in and through an immense movement of the hands of other people. The hands of other people lift us from the womb. The hands of other people grow the food we eat, weave the clothes we wear, and build the shelters we inhabit. The hands of other people give pleasure to our bodies in moments of passion, and aid and comfort in time of affliction and distress. It is in and through the hands of other people that the commonwealth of nature is appropriated and accommodated to the needs and pleasures of our separate, individual lives. At the end, it is the hands of other people that lower us into the earth.”
The Good Society, Robert Bellah et all
