2004 Pope John Paul II declared
an initiative embracing the important role sports plays
in today's world.
"The Holy Father has always been
interested in sports, as a means
of evangelization and a great way to
form youth,'' said the Rev. Kevin Lixey, an American priest involved
in establishing a sports department in
the Pontifical Council for Lay
People. "There is a need to
"let people know that there are sportsmen who are also
virtuous,'' Lixey went on to add.
CYFL is
leading the way .... and you are part of that!
