The Peace of Christ Basketball program is for youth in grades 3-12. Last year we had a total of eight teams comprised of 93 Youth from our Parish and outlying community.
WINTER BASKETBALL REGISTRATION HAS BEGUN
It is with pride that every year, we honor youth from Peace of Christ Parish basketball teams for the Faith Through Sports Award. The Faith Through Sports Award is awarded to an athlete who meets the Diocese of Rochester CYO criteria:
*Consistently demonstrates Catholic values and Christian behavior by word and example.
*Demonstrates the qualities of a team player
*Works towards both team and personal goals
*Is a positive role model to their teammates
*Honors the game through respect for team, opponents and officials
*Is a practicing Roman Catholic
Our annual Chris Desso Award is in honor of the late Chris Desso. Chris was a sophomore at McQuaid High School when he was struck and killed while riding his bicycle home on October 29, 1994. He was a graduate of St. Ambrose and Northeastern Catholic Junior High School . Chris played Eastside Little League Baseball for seven years and participated in CYO Basketball through St. John the Evangelist with his cousins. He was a life member of Boy Scout Troop No. 231 and achieved the rank of Star. Chris had an amazing passion for life that showed by always going the extra mile to help others. The Chris Desso Award is given to one player on each team who caries on Chris's Passion for life and sports.
