Catholic Sports

About

Catholic Sports is a Denver-based and nationally growing recreational sports outreach program for young adults 18-39 years old. Its mission is to build authentic community through recreational sports, and they do that by organizing competitive and casual sports leagues all year round while also hosting social events and weekly Bible studies!

Their goal is to be open and welcoming to all individuals while embodying their core values of Catholic Orthodoxy, Hospitable Outreach and Vulnerable Intimacy, so as to bring all young adults closer to Christ. 

Catholic Sports at the Basilica

Through the work of Catholic Missionary Helena Briggs at the Basilica of Saint Mary, they offer an opportunity for young adults in Alexandria and throughout Northern Virginia to participate in their leagues, social events, and studies.

About the Missionary

Helena Briggs was born and raised in Front Royal, VA and attended Christendom College, earning a bachelor’s degree in Philosophy.  There she was a member of the varsity volleyball and basketball teams, as well as president of the Student Activities Council, organizing and hosting social events for the whole student body.  Throughout college and after graduating, she worked at Rappahannock Cellars as a wine production assistant, learning how to literally work the harvest when “the laborers are few.”  After a long period of soul-searching and job-hopping, she discovered God’s calling to become a missionary with Catholic Sports and is now excited to be starting a new location in Northern Virginia to bring young adults closer to Christ through the things she loves most: sports and building community!
