Coaching Ministry at St. Luke

Go RAMS!

Over 150 volunteers will coach St. Luke Athletics. We value each individual's commitment to serve the parish and his/her ability to serve as a Christian role model to our children. We believe in the Catholic Youth Organization's mission and support it through our coaching ministry.

CYO MISSION: The CYO is committed to providing a ministry of information that helps bring youth to their full human potential. The CYO provides opportunities for young people to develop strong moral character, self-esteem and leadership qualities through activities of a social, educational, recreational and athletic nature. These activities are spiritual, cultural, social, athletic and educational in nature. The CYO organizes athletic competition in 14 different sports for boys and girls, fourth grade through high school.
