This picture of St Cyril football team of 1954 was sent in by Joe Lauro:
"We were undefeated until the last game of the season, the game ended in a tie, but they gave the win to St. Rosalima because they had more first downs then we did. I don't think there was a dry eye on the team. Our quarterback was Joe Brogan, and our fullback was Jimmy Hoffman, Frankie Gallager is also in this picture."

 


 

SPONSOR  A  STUDENT
TUITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

St. Cyril has a program in place to help with the tuition needs of some of our parish families. Many of us were fortunate to receive a free (or almost free) Catholic education. Today that is not possible. For the 2004-05 school year, our school families pay tuition of $2,225 for one child; $2,900 for two children and $3,550 for 3 or more children. Should you wish to help a family with their tuition bills, see www.saintcyril.org/sponsor.htm click here for more information or contact Fr. Kearns.  All inquiries are confidential and your support is most appreciated as we try to help those families who are struggling to keep their children in our parish school.

School Tour & All-Class Reunion 

On Saturday March 22, 2003 the 75th Anniversary Committee held an all class reunion in the Social Hall.  The event was sold out a month early and there were rumors of ticket sales on e-bay.  Immediately preceding the reunion the school was open for a tour for alumni and guests.  The teachers and students did a great job decorating their classrooms and some of the older students gave guided tours.

Is this the choir???.....What is the occasion???
From Mr. Fred Kerner
The photo you show of the "choir", is actually the parish glee club. I recognized my sister Theresa in that photo. It was taken I think at the annex. A number of functions were held there as the new church was not built yet.
