Congratulations to all girls’ Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) teams on a successful season. Champions were crowned Feb. 23.

CYO would like to thank St. Agnes H.S., College Point; Bishop Kearney H.S., Bensonhurst; Msgr. McClancy M.H.S., East Elmhurst; and St. John’s Prep, Astoria, for hosting the semifinals and championship games.

A special thanks to Rev. Paul Kim, parochial vicar of St. Kevin’s parish in Flushing, and Rev. Gerard Saurer, pastor of St. Mel in Flushing, for being present at the championship games and leading the athletes, coaches and spectators in the CYO prayer prior to the games.

The games were very exciting, and all teams, coaches and fans followed the philosophy of the CYO, encouraging sportsmanship and coming together to bring the Gospel’s vision and values to life.
