What is the CYC?
For well over forty years, the CYC at Christ the King has
been an important and vibrant part of the parish
community. The CYC is open to all high school-aged
members of the parish and the surrounding area, as well
as to adults interested in working in an advisory role. The
CYC board is comprised of elected officers, class
representatives and adult advisors.
What do we do for fun?
CYC was founded primarily as a social organization, and
the current membership of over 75 young people works to
develop a safe and friendly atmosphere where they can
interact and have fun with each other and the entire
community. Sponsored activities include a religious
retreat, a winter semi-formal, a spring musical, field trips,
and a monthly CYC mass and meeting. We also field a
volleyball team and basketball team every year.
How do we give back?
In addition to the social side of the CYC, there is an
important component of service to the parish and the
community. Members volunteer at Interfaith Hospitality
and Camp Sunshine, help raise funds for various local
charities, help out at many parish functions and with the
work of other ministries.
How do we pay for it all?
To support all these efforts, the members also participate
in fundraising events such as car washes, plant sales, and
an ad-book campaign in conjunction with the Spring
Musical. These fundraisers are a combination of fun and a
learning experience for all CYC members.

Each month the CYC will be holding a canned food drive
in support of St. Vincent de Paul Society at Christ the
King on the last weekend of the month. This is to support
those of our families that are in need.
BASKETBALL NEWS
The CYC Basketball team is underway. The team is lead
by returning sophmores, Peter Franco, Patrick Thompson,
Dave Loiselle, Nick Kooyomian, and Jack Halloran. Last
year, the team went undefeated during the regular season
only to get upset in the first round of the playoffs. The
team this year will have its obstacles as seven seniors
graduated.
The following boys should provide a much needed spark
to keep up the tradition of competitive CYTK basketball:
Trevor Cooper, Paul Thomas, Leo Pagano, Jon Mastrorio,
Kevin White, Alfred Adardkwah, and Mitjon Celaj. The
team is coached by Paul Franco and David Loiselle.
