Archdiocesan
Parish/School Discipleship and Sportsmanship Awards
In 2020 the Office for Youth & Young Adult Ministry
began their CYO Awards. Each year the goal of these awards is to present
two student athletes and one adult with special recognition for their actions
on and off the court.
The two awards are as follows:
The Archdiocesean Parish/School Sportsmanship Award
This award is given to those student athletes that display outstanding
sportsmanship through service or actions on and off the court in their parish
community.
The Archdiocesean Dicipleship Award
This award is given to those individuals that demonstrate a strong
commitment to young people and athletics in our parish and/or school.
