Hosted by St. Thomas High School & St. Pius X High School

Coaches, athletes, umpires, families and fans,

Welcome to the 2023 Father Wilson/Sister Julia Baseball Tournament! This is our 37th year hosting the event, which honors two of our schools’ greatest baseball ambassadors, Father James Wilson C.S.B. and Sister Julia Bielamowicz O.P. Our 10 teams field features some of the top private school programs and rising public school programs in the Houston Area, It should make for 3 days of great baseball!

Thanks to all of the parents and boosters from St. Thomas and St. Pius X for all of their hard work in helping to create a great event year after year and special thanks to all of our participating schools for joining us in celebrating the memory of Father Wilson and Sister Julia through a weekend of baseball. Finally, I would like to thank Baseball USA powered by Marucci for supplying us with a turf field as a backup in case of bad weather on the first two days of the tournament.

Welcome and Good luck!!
