Mater Dei CYO Sports Program
Mission Statement
CYO Sports is one component of our parish’s comprehensive youth ministry program which enables the partnership of parents, coaches, priests, religious teachers and adult leaders to manage and support a sports program that allows youth to grow in their relationship with God and come to better understand themselves and the Catholic faith.
- Employs healthy and enjoyable competition to promote the sharing of catholic values among athletes, parents, and coaches.
- Assists parish leadership in nourishing the emotional, spiritual, social, and physical needs of young people.
- Encourages our youth to appreciate the talents they possess, and challenges them to share these strengths with their community.
- Allow our student athletes to witness the life of a Christian in their coaches and adult leaders.
- Encourage our youth to become responsible members of their faith to our community.

Mater Dei Catholic School
Mary, Seat of Wisdom, Teach Us Love
Our theme for the 2022-2023 school year is Mary, Seat of Wisdom, Teach Us Love. The theme comes from an ancient title given to Mary, Sedes Sapientiae. This title was bestowed upon Mary because she held Jesus, the Divine Wisdom, on her lap. Our Blessed Mother is constantly acknowledged as a model of Wisdom and Love. Mary has much to teach us. As children of God, and Catholic educators, we need to open our hearts and be willing to sit at the feet of Mary to receive the gift of spiritual Wisdom and learn from Mary how to love.
