High School Athletic Ministry

This is the creed of our new ministry for high school athletes. Sports are very important in our society today. Sometimes they are too important. Sports can teach many valuable life and faith lessons. We wanted to be able to help the high school athlete balance these two very polar ideas. On one hand, we don’t want them to lose their desire to compete and be the best. On the other hand, we want to help them do this while maintaining their Christian identity.

PURPOSE:

• Provide a forum for high school athletes discuss their faith and the challenges and opportunities of living the faith as an athlete.
• Provide Christian formation in the Catholic tradition for those same student-athletes.

WHY DO THIS FOR THE ATHLETES?

• They need a place to come together with other like-minded youth
• Keep them engaged in parish life
• Provide connection to students in other grades and at other schools
• They are role models and need formation
• Help them balance their desire for competiveness and their holiness

WHY DO THIS FOR THE PARISH?

• We need their witness
• Keep them engaged in parish life
• Provide connection to students in other grades and at other schools
• They are role models and need formation
• Help them balance their desire for competiveness and their holiness
