    Prayer to St. Sebastian
    Patron Saint of Athletes

    O Lord, grant us the spirit of fortitude, so that guided by the example of St. Sebastian, we may learn to bear witness to the Christian Faith and patiently support the sufferings of life. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

    Physical education needs to be an integral part of a holistic Catholic educational process. As Catholic education enters the new millennium, we seek to be on the cutting edge of the new physical education movement. We strive to promote and model lifetime wellness by teaching health concepts and physical fitness activities. Physical education teachers are a professional source of health and fitness information; therefore, students can rely on them to provide sound guidelines for a healthy lifestyle. Physical fitness and a healthy lifestyle need to be everyday priorities. Each provides the opportunity for developing confidence, dignity and respect for self and others. Physical education activities are not designed to be an end in themselves, but focus on the final goal: a healthy lifestyle. Most importantly, we will reinforce Christian values that will promote life-long health and fitness.
