Our Courageously Living the Gospel Deanery Community Outreach Project has finally come to fruition.  The newly created Catholic Youth Sports program of the Diocese of St. Petersburg will be launching the inaugural Catholic Cup sponsored by the Knights of Columbus.
This fall, the parishes of Our Lady of the Rosary, St. Timothy, St. Mary, St. Mark and Most Holy Redeemer will have the opportunity to field soccer teams and compete towards the Catholic Cup.  At the end of the season, the champion of each division, above the age of 10, will compete with Catholic values in the Catholic Cup tournament, where only 1 Church will be crowned champion.

Our goal is to promote Christ through soccer to all kids ages 4-18 regardless of their athletic ability and build church community.  The season will run from September through November with all games played on Saturdays at St. Mary's.  The "early bird" cost per player will be $90 and will include a soccer uniform (jersey, shorts, socks), professional team/individual photo and season ending team party.  Please register early to take advantage of this discounted pricing.
