CORPS Photos
The corps’ colors were maroon and gold.
The Beverly Crusaders were the Cardinals' feeder corps.
Awards included the VFW and American Legion Championships for New Hampshire and Massachusetts 1954-56, and the CYO Circuit Championships 1961 and 1964.
When church sponsorship ended in late 1968, the St. Mary's Cardinals became the Beverly Cardinals. This latter group merged with the Wilmington Crusaders in early 1973 to form the Wilmington Cardinals (AKA the Cardinals of Wilmington.)
