Why Athleta Christi?

We formed Athleta Christi to support our military & first responders from a uniquely Catholic perspective. Our primary focus is promoting professional development, personal well-being & authentic fraternity. To do this, we offer free training, education and recreational opportunities to public servants. Furthermore, we will work to establish a widespread and enduring network of mutual support to perpetuate our mission indefinitely. Lastly, we will mobilize in times of crisis, to assist those in need, by utilizing our unique skills in support of the salvific mission of Christ.

 

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.
