A Special Week for St. Eleanor CYO!

We are excited to share that both our Varsity Softball and Varsity Baseball teams have advanced to the Archdiocese of Philadelphia Championship Games—a rare and wonderful accomplishment for one parish community!

As Matt Hasher, Head of Athletics for AOP/CYO, shared:

“We’ve only had a handful of instances where one parish has both boys' and girls' teams in the same final… it’ll definitely be a fun two days for the community!”

 Come out and support our teams:

Girls Championship

Tuesday, June 9 | 6:00 PM

Villanova Softball Complex
vs. Saint Monica (South Philadelphia)

____________________________________

 Boys Championship

Wednesday, June 10 | 6:00 PM

Pope John Paul High School
vs. St. Thomas the Apostle (Glen Mills/Chester Heights)

We are incredibly proud of our athletes and grateful for the leadership of coaches Dan Jusko and Steve Mogg, along with their dedicated coaching staffs. They have built teams that truly reflect the spirit of CYO—faith, teamwork, and sportsmanship.

Please keep both teams in your prayers this week, and join us if you can to cheer them on!

Go St. Eleanor!

🔥 GAME RECAP: WHAT. A. BATTLE. 🔥
We lost the coin toss and took the field as the away team—but wasted no time making noise at the plate. After Carroll got things started with a walk and Scavone lined one to center, Katelyn Howarth stepped up and launched an absolute BOMB over right field! 💣🔥 That blast set the tone early, and with hits from Zielinski, Fox, and Mogg, we jumped out to a 4-0 lead right out of the gate.
⁣
Calvary answered right back, taking advantage of a few miscues and proving why they’re one of the best—closing the gap to 4-2 and eventually tying things up 4-4. 💥 Game on.
In the 4th, the Crusaders answered. Fox ripped her second double of the night, DiBenedetto got on, and Mogg came through with a clutch RBI to give us back the lead. Then Ward delivered another big hit to stretch it to 6-4—and that little bit of breathing room made a BIG difference.
⁣
From there, Howarth was locked in, racking up key strikeouts and shutting the door when it mattered most. The defense backed her up in a big way—highlighted by a HUGE double play from Zielinski and DiBenedetto. 💪
Even with Calvary bringing the heart of their lineup in the 7th, the Crusaders stayed composed and finished strong to secure a hard-fought 6-4 WIN! ✅
⁣
👏 Shoutout to Katelyn Howarth on her 100th strikeout of the season! What an amazing milestone!
⁣
This team is something special. You might not always see the dugout—but you can DEFINITELY hear it. The energy, the support, the belief in each other… it shows every single inning. 📣💙💛

 We are proud to announce that our Boys’ Varsity Baseball Team has been crowned the 2026 Region 21 Champions following an outstanding 6–5 victory over SPN in the championship game.

The team displayed outstanding skill, unity, and determination throughout the season and during the championship game. Their success reflects their unwavering commitment and hard work, along with the exceptional leadership of Head Coach Dan Jusko, who steered the team to this impressive accomplishment.

With this victory, the team has earned the opportunity to advance to the Philadelphia Archdiocese Tournament.

Knights of Columbus Council 3633 was proud to support the inaugural Home Town Torch Run.  The event brought together local law enforcement, Perkiomen Valley High School students, and community members to support Special Olympics Pennsylvania. The 1.5-mile run carried the Flame of Hope from Central Perkiomen Park to PVHS, raising both funds and awareness.

The event also celebrated PVHS being named a National Unified Champion School—an honor recognizing its commitment to inclusion for students with intellectual disabilities. The energy, joy, and sense of belonging on display were truly inspiring, with students sharing how meaningful the experience was to them.

The Knights continue their commitment to Special Olympics Pennsylvania and building a culture of inclusion in our community.

The Ascension of the Lord Masses: 6:30 am, 9:00am, 12:05pm and 7:00pm · Church

Celebrated forty days after Easter, the Feast of the Ascension of Jesus commemorates the moment when the risen Christ, before the eyes of his apostles, ascended bodily into heaven (Acts 1:9–11).

The Ascension marks the completion of Jesus’ earthly mission and the beginning of his exaltation at the right hand of the Father, where he intercedes for us as our eternal High Priest. It reminds us that heaven is our true home and that Jesus, fully God and fully man, has gone before us to prepare a place for us in the Father’s house.
