Raven Rundown, 12/2/2022

 
December 2, 2022
 
Congratulations, Fr. Larry!
St. Rose of Lima celebrated the installation this past Sunday of new Pastor Fr. Larry Evans II. Cardinal Joseph Tobin celebrated the mass, with Sr. Sandy, Mrs. Underwood, parish staff, and representatives from parish organizations—including SRLA!—on hand for the official welcome. Best wishes, Fr. Larry. We're so happy you're here!
 
The Ravens Host Thanksgiving
Thank you to everyone who came out to the SRLA Thanksgiving Tournament this year—16 games over two days with a packed Ravens' Nest the entire time. I would especially like to thank the HSA, Principal Underwood, Parents, Volunteers and all the current students who are responsible for making the weekend run so efficiently.
 
I also want to thank the participating basketball programs and their coaches for entering the tournament and providing us with a competitive and enjoyable set of games:
 
  • St. Joseph, Maplewood
  • St. Patrick’s, Chatham
  • Assumption, Morristown
  • St. Thomas, Bloomfield
  • St. Helen’s, Westfield
  • Holy Trinity, Westfield
 
 
Go Ravens!

As always we will need volunteer elves to make this event happen! From set-up to shopping help, and wrapping to break-down, there are many volunteer slots to be filled. Please volunteer and share the joy of giving your time and helping our students during this holiday season.
