Re: Holy Goals for Body and Soul

In the Year of Strong Catholic Parents 2013-2014

Bishop Thomas Paprocki has written a book from his years of experience as a hockey goalie and

marathon runner. He sheds new light on the subject of sports and faith, encouraging the

reader to see that the two aspects can work to benefit each other.

Your athletic directors and coaches will find the books “8 steps to connect sports with God and

faith” a helpful resource as they encourage young athletes to develop both their skills and their

relationship with God.

During this next month, Ave Maria Press is offering the parishes and schools within the

Archdiocese a discount. Please see the details in the enclosed flyer. In this year as we focus on

parents who bring their children for the Sacraments, there is a new opportunity for coaches to

bring teens to Christ through sports.

This book takes on a whole new level of interest during the Stanley Cup finals. Go Hawks!

Holy Goals for Body and SoulEight Steps to Connect Sports with God and FaithBishop Thomas John Paprocki with Joe PaprockiBishop Paprocki links lessons from the world of sports and fitness—especial-ly his experiences as a Catholic bishop who plays ice hockey—with concrete ways to live a holy life. In his view, everyone is called to holiness, which can be encountered anywhere. “I encounter holiness while training for a marathon. I

encounter holiness during a workout at the health club,” he points out. His book outlines eight sports-related steps to holiness and makes an ideal

gift for high school coaches and for Catholic youth leaders to purchase for their students.
