ORADELL, NJ, December 19, 2025– Bergen Catholic would like to thank our Crusader student leaders for their incredible service to others. Michael Cooper ‘26 coordinated a toy drive on Yule Day that collected 350 toys for Hackensack Children’s Hospital. The BC Asian Alumni and Student Club donated all items raised for the Giving Tree to the Mahwah Center for Food Action. And the Crusaders for Christian Action (CCA), in conjunction with the Tom Coughlin Jay Fund and support from Sussex Bike and Sport Shop, built a bike for a young boy who is bravely battling cancer.

The gift we are so are thankful for at Bergen Catholic are the young leaders that have filled our hallways since 1955. Bergen Catholic Crusaders are boys that develop into confident young men, mentored in the Elements of an Edmund Rice Christian Brother Education, and set on making a difference in their lives. Thank you for creating and maintaining a tradition of love and service for others. Deus Vult.
