The entire community is behind this team. Why was an arbitrary decision made to the detriment of the children? Funds raised and parents happily have agreed to pay the fees, why is the church shutting the community out and then confiscating their money? Why won’t Father Foley provide the necessary answers to families and communities, where are the CYO Funds?

St Peter CYO has been around the 40 years my family has been in Pacifica and doing decades of volunteering and donating to a number of causes with this Church. It would be atrocious to see CYO shut down leaving so many children lost. I understand the need to drop certain community items over the years…but with so many adults wanting to drop this program, you’d think they could brainstorm a substitute way for the children. Maybe Boys and Girls club sports brought back, school sports for all.

My daughter loves playing basketball and her coach. We live in the back of the valley and she would love to play with her team again. This will be a huge disappointment. I’m not sure where else she could play local basketball.

My 3 children and countless nieces and nephews played in this program over the last 4 decades. The experiences were so important and invaluable towards their development and gave them a sense of community and pride. To discontinue this program would be a huge loss to the community.

St. Peter’s CYO Basketball is more than just a sports program. It is a tradition that has brought generations of families together, built lifelong friendships, and taught our children teamwork, discipline, faith, and community. Ending this program takes away an opportunity for our kids.
Let the kids play!

I was part of the very first girls basketball team approx 50 years ago. Both my daughters and my son played as well as many family members I know personally. It’s been a great program for years. It is such a wonderful youth organization for the children of this town. If another youth program or activity is cut what do you expect the children of this community to do? I implore whomever the powers are to rethink shutting down the CYO basketball youth program.

Church is suppose to be about community and bringing people together. St. Peter’s is a shadow of what it used to be. Shame on you! Very sad at a time we should be growing a community.

The CYO basketball program offers the community opportunities to connect, exercise and enhance bonds with each other in and out of our town. How could anyone or institution not want to continue something that provides so many positives?

So sad to hear St Peter’s has made the decision to end a program that has brought generations of Pacifica kids and families together, built friendships, taught teamwork and sportsmanship. Thank you to those who are leading the effort to get answers and figure out a way for the program to continue.

My 7th grade Grandson was so looking forward to the CYO Basketball season as I'm sure so many other kids were. He has been playing since 3rd grade and now they are taking it away. It's not like the church pays for them to play - the parents pay ! PLEASE KEEP THE CYO PROGRAM FOR OUR KIDS !

Let. Them. Play.
Cabrillo appears to be the public school in San Mateo County whose children are barred from Interscholastic sports, particularly at the middle school level. St. Peters served as a crucial stopgap to lessen the disparity.
Shutting down St. Peters further drives kids outside the Linda Mar Valley for the most basic services: the right to play.
