Faith, teamwork & perseverance

We believe organized athletics is a wonderful avenue for students to learn important life skills like teamwork and perseverance — and to grow as young Catholics.

Catholic Youth Organization

Competing in the CYO

St. Mary is a proud member of the Catholic Youth Organization (CYO), whose mission is to create a safe, healthy environment for the children of our community to grow as young Catholics through athletic competition.
