In 1991, our community suffered the tragic loss of three young lives. One of the youths, Kate Conlon, was a graduate of St. Raymond School and her family were longtime parishioners. Kate was a talented athlete who participated in basketball, volleyball, cheerleading and intramural sports. A group of Kate’s friends and neighbors wanted to do something to remember her love of athletics, and thus the Annual Kate Conlon Christmas Tournament was created. In 2024, its 32nd year, the Kate Conlon Tournament will host multiple 8th grade girls teams over four days.
TBD
