STAFF
Welcome everyone to the 37th edition of the BC Catholic Basketball Championships here at Holy Cross Regional High School. This year’s “Catholics” will be played for the first time in our new “South Wing” gym and building which will bring a new chapter to the tournament which will continue to create lasting and unforgettable memories. The BC Catholics are one of the most memorable events of the Holy Cross student calendar and it brings together Catholic schools from all over BC to rekindle old friendships and continue long standing rivalries in a fun and competitive atmosphere. I want to thank our community sponsors for their generous support of the tournament and the school which enables us to offer tournament scholarships, and all of the perks to operate such a “first class event”. Special thanks must go to our staff, parents and students of Holy Cross Regional Secondary School who work tirelessly to host and volunteer their time to make this such a very successful tournament. Your dedication and excellent work exemplifies the community that is a mark of a Catholic school.
