That's right, the CYC has lacrosse leagues for boys and girls in grades 5 through 8.  The leagues run from March 16th through May 18th on Saturday mornings.  The girls play at the Meyer Youth Center and the boys play on the grass field at DeSmet High School.  Last year there were 8 girls teams and 6 boys teams. 

If you are interested in playing, now is the time to check with your parish to see if they will have a team this year.  If they do not, you can still play.  Sign up by sending the following information:

• Player's name
• Address
• Parish you live in
• School you attend
• Contact phone number
• Contact email address

    to buzzswanston@archstl.org by February 10th.  We will assign you to the closest team that needs players.  St. Louis seems to be a hotbed for lacrosse.  It is a fast growing sport that is new to most of the CYC players.  Give it a try and see how you like it.  See more details about CYC Lacrosse at http://www.cycstl.net/sports/lacrosse.

In 2009 Ryan Janasik, a student at St. John Vianney High School in Kirkwood decided to collect soccer jerseys from CYC parishes in St. Louis.  Many parishes chipped in, including: Our Lady of Lourdes, St. Clement, Queen of All Saints, St. Paul, Our Lady of Pillar and St. Gerard.  In total Ryan collected 2800 soccer jerseys and sent them to kids in Honduras through a not-for-profit organization.  The organization is called Honduras Relief Effort.

Ryan is now trying to finish his project off on a high note by raising money for the kids in Honduras.  He has been appointed an Ambassador of Honduras Relief Effort and has set up a not-for-profit fund here in St. Louis.  He is raising money by selling bracelets that say, "A Jersey for Every Kid, Honduras Releif Effort".  If you would like to help provide a Jersey for Every Kid, you can purchase a bracelet for $2 or make a donation by contacting: Ryan Janasik  314 775-7061 or pkjanasik@sbcglobal.net .  The CYC Office also has bracelets for a donation there contact Buzz Swanston at buzzswanston@archstl.org.
