CYO Sports
Purpose
The purpose of CYO Athletics is to provide and promote recreational activity, which, by its nature will lead toward the development of Christian ideals in the youth served.
There must be a difference in CYO sports, not only in promoting good manners and sportsmanship, but also in reaching for the spiritual ideals through sports.
Pope Paul VI said - "So be good sportsmen, dear sons and daughters; but be better citizens, with that equipment of virtues and qualities that make your existence fruitful and worthy. Still more, be excellent Christians who understand the value of life as the generous response to God, the Creator and Savior."
