MISSION STATEMENT

The CYO (Catholic Youth Organization) is the parish's comprehensive youth ministry program which enables the partnership of parents, coaches, priests, religious, teachers, and adult leaders to allow youth to grow in their relationship with GOD and come to a better understand themselves and the Catholic faith.

Such a program:

·         employs healthy and enjoyable competition to promote the sharing of gospel values among athletes, parents, and coaches.

·         assists parish leadership in nourishing the emotional, spiritual, social and physical needs of young people.

·         encourages young people to appreciate the gifts that they possess, and challenges them to share these gifts with their community.

·         allows youth to witness the life of Christian discipleship in their coaches and adult leaders.

·         encourages youth to become responsible members of their faith community.

The general purpose of this CYO is to help its members become ideal Catholics, loyal to God and Country, and a credit to their Church, their community and themselves. Since the parish exists to sanctify its members through prayer and good example, all persons involved in the CYO are to provide a good example of Catholic/Christian conduct.
