CYO (Catholic Youth Organization)

The Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) is a program aimed at engaging young people in the Catholic faith through sports, social activities, and community service. Founded in the early 20th century, CYO seeks to foster moral development, teamwork, and spiritual growth among youth, promoting values such as respect, leadership, and service to others. Typically associated with parishes and schools, CYO organizes sports leagues and faith-based events, allowing participants to build friendships and strengthen their connection to the Church, while nurturing a sense of community and personal development.
