Lacrosse Program

Interested in learning about Lacrosse?

The CYC Sports Department started a Lacrosse program in the Spring of 2009.  The program started with 2 boys teams with players from 5th through 8th grade.  Although it was a modest start, the program was successful in providing instruction and the opportunity to play competitive Lacrosse.  Next Spring we hope to expand the number of teams in the boys program and start a girls program as well.  For more information click on the "Lacrosse program" phrase above and it will take you to the Lacrosse page. If you or your children are interested, email Butch Rosier or call him at 314-792-7603.

Sports Can Aid Personal Development, Says Pope

VATICAN CITY, OCT. 7, 2007 (Zenit.org).- When sports are pursued in the right spirit and with respect for dignity they can help promote the development of the person, Benedict XVI said.

The Holy Father explained this on Saturday when he received the Austrian National Alpine Ski Team in audience.

He explained: "Sports can help man to see his own capacities as talents and his life as a gift of God.

"Even when sports are pursued at high levels it is necessary to preserve the interior harmony between body and spirit, not reducing sports to a mere seeking after results."

The Pope invited his guests to be "messengers in the world of this winter sport so loved by the Austrian people."
