Is Your Team Using This Prayer?
The Office of the Bishop issued a new Sportsmanship Prayer in the Fall of 2025. This prayer may be utilized before games, before practices, and more to grow our relationship with Jesus Christ.
The previous prayer, written by CYM staff and promulgated by the late Bishop Saltarelli, may be used as alternative and be prayed by coaches, parents, and young people before games and practices.
