Catholic Athletes For Christ

Catholic Athletes for Christ is a national organization whose mission is to serve Catholic athletes and share the Gospel of Christ in and through athletics. CAC’s goal is to provide an integrated network of sports oriented clergy and lay people to serve Catholic athletes, coaches, and staff in the practice of their faith and to utilize the unique platform given to them to reach the world for Jesus Christ and His Church.

At St. Theresa, Catholic Athletes for Christ invites 7th and 8th graders to meet bimonthly in Elmer Hall to share an early morning breakfast and discuss what it means to live the Catholic faith. We watch short videos of great athletes or standout moments in sports history and then discuss where those lessons intersect with lessons in our faith journey. We dive into Sacred Scripture, discuss virtues, and leave each meeting with a resolution to live out so we continue to grow as the people God has created us to be- holy men and women, called to be Saints! We are a team, striving towards this common goal.
