It is with a heavy heart that I pass along the news that Sister Rosaire passed away. For those of you that don't know Sister Rosaire, she spent many years working at St. Catherine's, most recently in the guidance department. She was a beloved figure among the staff and students and she will be missed dearly. Eternal rest grant unto her Oh Lord. And let perpetual light shine upon her. May the soul of Sister Rosaire through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

Thursday night was parent/senior night for the Angels girls volleyball and to say they put on a great show for the fans is an understatement. The Angels found themselves in a hole after the first set as they lost the set 10-25 to Ronald Reagan. However, the Angels awoke and came back with a vengeance in set 2 as they took the set 25-23. Ronald Reagan earned a close third set victory 25-22, but the Angels came back to win the fourth set 25-21. In the pivotal 5th set, Ronald Reagan barely edged the Angels 15-13 to earn the 3-2 match victory. Katelyn Gordon led the team all night and played exceptional as she recorded 83 sets. Arianna Jones led the team with 12 kills, 8 blocks and 5 aces. Maciena Trujillo contributed 8 kills, while Emily Kaisler had 7 and Aniyah Price had 6.

Boys Soccer
Monday the boys soccer team traveled to Saint Thomas More for a tough Metro Classic Conference matchup. Thomas More had great offense all night long and the Angels just couldn’t seem to compose themselves on defense as Thomas More was able to walk away with a hard fought 4-0 victory.
Wednesday night the Angel soccer team hosted The Prairie School at SCORe soccer park in a matchup that the Angels wait for each year. After going into halftime 0-0, The Prairie School Hawks scored 2 quick goals to jump out to a 2-0 lead. Being down late didn’t deter the Angels as they battled back with a goal by Marco Sanchez to cut the lead to 2-1. With 4 minutes left in the game the Hawks got called for a handball in the box and Marco Sanchez was able to come through with a clutch PK to tie the game 2-2. The Angels defense held on for the last 4 minutes and the game ended with a 2-2 tie.
Saturday morning at SCORe the Angels hosted Pius XI in a non-conference matchup. The Angels played with great energy in the 2nd half, Morgan Determan did a great job in the goalie box, and the Angel defense fought all day long, however when the game ended Pius earned itself a hard fought 2-0 victory.
