Giving Tuesday

York Catholic will be participating in #GivingTuesday on December 1.  In case you haven't heard, the goal of #GivingTuesday is to create a global day of giving back, which celebrates generosity and kindness. 
 
York Catholic has a goal of raising $7,500 and we really hope you'll be a part of reaching that goal.  Please give or give again.  All gifts are appreciated no matter the amount.  All of the donations received will go towards YC's Annual Fund.
 
We hope you're able to join the millions who are making #GivingTuesday the huge success that it is nationwide.
 
Please keep an eye out for updates as we near December 1 and share this message with friends and family.   Thanks for Catching Our Irish Spirit and showing your YC pride!
Senior High Fall Play:  "Get Smart"
The Senior High students will be performing "Get Smart" as their fall play next week.  Control Agent Maxwell Smart is off on a bizarre new case in which he must stop the sinister organization known as KAOS from their most shameful plot. Their plan this time is to prove their power by blowing up the Statue of Liberty!  Smart springs (or should we say stumbles) into action. Magnificently assisted by beautiful Agent 99, Smart proceeds from one gigantic blunder to another each, however, somehow turning into a master stroke.  Will he be able to stop KAOS in time?  Come find out!
