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.

"Peace is Built in the Heart"

Pope Leo XIV’s words remind us of a powerful truth: peace doesn’t start in the world around us—it begins within each of us. It is shaped by love, nourished by prayer, and strengthened by our desire to live as Jesus taught.

At Mater Dei Catholic School, we embrace this call to be peacemakers. Pope Leo’s message speaks to everyone, but especially to our children, who are growing into the people God created them to be. When peace lives in our hearts, it flows into our words, our choices, and our relationships.

When every heart becomes a home for peace, then our school, our homes, and our entire community can become places of kindness, forgiveness, justice, and joy. Pope Leo is calling us to be different—to build peace through the way we live, speak, and treat one another each day.

This year, let us journey together as builders of peace—rooted in God’s love, guided by His truth, and strengthened by His mercy.
