CYO Pledge

As a member of the Catholic Youth Organization, I will strive to live a worthy and honorable life, to promote by word and example the teachings of the Gospel.  I will promote a spirit of pride in my church, my community and myself.
 

Successful Athletic Program

A successful athletic program is evaluated not in terms of victory or defeat , but in the light of the degree that each athlete has become a better human being.

CYO Values

Preamble
          May God grant me to speak as He would wish to express thoughts worthy of His gifts...
                                                                                                             Wisdom of Solomon (7:15)

Inspired by the Good News, the Catholic Youth Organization emphasizes the following values:

1. To encourage our young men and women toward Christian leadership growth in social awareness and the development of sound Christian values;
    

2. To encourage fairness, compassion, truth and cooperation through recreational activities;
    

3. To encourage and challenge our youth to participate and serve those more needy in their parish and community;
    

4. To encourage a respect for authority, a sensitivity for the rights of the individual and a loyalty to one's team and parish;
    

5. To encourage sportsmanship and self-control in the face of adversity;
    

6. To encourage the growth of each participant as a player and avoid a 'win at all costs' attitude;
    

7. To foster respect and cooperation among all people.
