Over Memorial Day 2024, 60 of our youth participated in the 43rd annual Jr. Olympics at SS Constantine & Helen and Stagg High School in Palos Hills. It was a wonderful weekend of Christian sportsmanship, great weather, and wonderful fellowship. The Jr. Olympics offers our youth a sense of community which is essential to their Christian growth. We honored our athletes and coaches on Graduate Sunday, June 9, and we thank our Jr. Olympics coordinator Anna Goldenstein and our children's parents for their enormous dedication in making this weekend memorable for our youth.

2023 Jr. Olympics Recap

Fifty-five youth athletes represented Ascension at the annual Metropolis of Chicago Junior Olympics over a beautiful Memorial Day weekend May 27-28, 2023 at Sts. Constantine & Helen in Palos Hills. Facing fierce competition, the co-ed softball team and girls volleyball team each advanced to the second round of their tournaments, and the 7-9 soccer team and 7-10 basketball team each advanced to the second day of competition. Competing both individually as well as on teams across 13 events, Ascension athletes ultimately brought home 1 Silver Medal and 3 Bronze medals! Congratulations to all our athletes! We commend them for representing Ascension with integrity and character in each sporting event. We also thank our dedicated coaches for devoting their time, talent and enthusiasm to this event. Finally, a huge thank you to Anna Goldenstein who organized the effort for our parish, ensuring that the day went very smoothly and was filled with fun and fellowship.
