Who we are
For years, the founders and board members of Athleta Christi have recognized a critical gap. While many organizations support those in public service positions, none do so from a uniquely Catholic perspective, or to the extent which we believe is truly necessary.
The title "Athleta Christi" (Latin for "Champion of Christ") was historically used to honor Christian warriors and saints who were seen as defenders of the faith, often through martyrdom or military service.
Our Team
With over a century of collective experience in the public service sector, our team possesses a wide ranging and uniquely Catholic perspective on how to best support our military, law enforcement and fire/rescue personnel.

FAQs
Our leadership conducted a trial cohort early this summer. Our first full cohort is being planned for early 2026.

Yes. While we exist specifically to support Catholic men in Public Service, we can consider other participants on a case-by-case basis. If you or someone you know could benefit from getting involved with the institute, don't hesitate to contact us.
If you have a skillset that you think could be utilized to support our programs or our organization as a whole, feel free to reach out. We are always on the look out for individuals who believe in our mission and want to join us. Most importantly, please remember us in your prayers and consider having a Mass offered for the success of our mission.
We are looking to develop a concurrent program for spouses in the future. While we consider what this program might look like, feel free to reach out if you are in need of assistance so we can try to connect you with resources you may find helpful.
Not at this time. Currently, we are only focusing on providing the best support possible to current/former military, law enforcement or fire/rescue personnel.
If you are preparing to begin a career in the military, as a law enforcement officer, or as a firefighter, and you would like advice or assistance in preparing, please reach out. We do not currently offer a residential preparatory program, but we hope to in the future. In the interim, we may still be able to connect you with resources to help you prepare.
