Two YC students chose York Catholic as the beneficiary of their Eagle Scout project.
Junior, Aaron Lesher, constructed a ticket booth for the YC football stadium.
Vincent Devlin '17, saw a need in the Grotto and built benches, modified the reflecting pond, and helped improve rain filtration by adding stones.
Both gentlemen were responsible for the design, crew recruitment and supervision, and final construction.
We are thankful to both Vinnie and Aaron for giving their hearts to YC!
