SportsLeader Ministry: Virtue = Strength

St. Patrick School integrates the SportsLeader Ministry into both athletics and classroom culture. This Catholic virtue-based formation program helps coaches, teachers, and mentors instill meaningful values in students through four key pillars:

  • Virtue

    Knowing and choosing what is good, true, and right — especially when it’s difficult.


    “A virtue is a habitual and firm disposition to do the good.”

    – Catechism of the Catholic Church #1803

  • Mentoring

    One-on-one time between coaches and athletes reinforces each virtue, helps build trust, and encourages personal growth.

  • Ceremony

    Special team ceremonies provide space to celebrate virtues, honor achievements, and strengthen relationships among players, families, and coaches.

  • Catholic Identity

    Athletics at St. Patrick is an extension of our Catholic faith. Students are encouraged to grow in holiness, prayer, and service through their role on the team.


    “Sanctifying grace is a habitual gift... that perfects the soul itself to enable it to live with God.”

    – CCC #2000
