Catholic Athletes for Christ
What is CAC?
In the Diocese of Trenton, the mission of the CAC is to forge a strong Catholic life within school, family and community by uniting Catholic leaders and student-athletes to enliven the faith of each, and bring authentically Catholic teaching through Scripture, catechism and the celebration of the sacraments.
There are seven core virtues that are integral for the Catholic Athletes for Christ program including charity, honesty, humility, meekness, moderation, purity and good sportsmanship. Virtues and additional themes will be explored through prayer and reflection over a four-year cycle.
