In what has become an annual early autumn tradition at Our Lady of the Snows, North Floral Park, approximately 200 members of the parish’s Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) family, including players, coaches and family members, attended Mass on Saturday, Oct. 19.

Players were encouraged to wear their uniforms. Pastor and CYO moderator Father Kevin McBrien celebrated the Mass.

In his homily, he told the young boys and girls that “…while at times you may fail according to the scoreboard, you will always be a winner when you rely on the Holy Spirit to help you, teach you and share God’s love with you.”
