St. Mary’s Ryken recently inducted the new Xaverian Brothers Sponsored School (XBSS) stewards. The students were inducted on December 3 during Mass to celebrate the patron of the Xaverian Brothers Congregation, St. Francis Xavier. The XBSS Stewards are a group of 11 seniors who act as living witnesses to Christ in our school community. The stewards serve on behalf of our school and are called to keep the spirit and traditions of the Xaverian Brothers alive by spreading excitement about faith, service and our Catholic identity. It is one of the biggest honors of an SMR student to be chosen as an XBSS Steward.

Congratulations to the following students:

Haley Bullis

Erin Carroll
