Daily News | Roman Catholic High football team gets help from a local union
Roman Catholic High School, which practices on a makeshift grass field along North 24th Street about a half mile from the Art Museum, got an assist from a local union this week.
The Cahillites practice facility, commonly referred to as River Field, doesn’t have lights, which has meant about an hour less practice time in recent weeks. So Roman school officials reached out to the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local Union 98 for assistance. Local 98 spokesperson Frank Keel said the Philadelphia office received a request Monday for temporary lighting.
Keel added that part of the union’s motivation was that many of its 5,000 members are Roman Catholic graduates. He added that the union has fulfilled similar requests for other schools and other sports.

The bishops elected Oklahoma City Archbishop Paul Coakley as secretary in a 130-104 vote over Cardinal Joseph Tobin of Newark, New Jersey, who had been named a cardinal by Pope Francis.
