The youth basketball program at St. Peters is so much more than just a sport. It gives our children and families a place to build relationships, experience belonging, and grow together in faith. Programs like this are an important part of creating strong, connected faith community that a parish is meant to foster.

As a community, especially as a parish, it is important we have these sports programs available to our local youth. Sports are integral in shaping young minds by creating an environment that teaches individuals how to work and communicate as a team, towards one common goal. I would like to stand firmly rooted in knowing the church supports this effort for children but also contributes to guiding them as they grow into adults.

We are incredibly disappointed for our son and in the decision making process. this program has been a Pacifica staple for generations and an opportunity for the church to show their love for the community. it would be a huge let down for Pacifica's if this isn't figured out

I am signing this petition because closing this program will take away our children’s chances to play sports. Club sports are not affordable by a lot of families. Children should not be ineligible to play sports based on their parents income. St. Peter’s was available to children of all backgrounds. This program is improtant to our children.

The CYO basketball program was a huge part of our son’s life; first playing and then coaching. These positive programs are a vital part of our children’s lives and an integral part of our community. Please reconsider discontinuing this program

This is devastating for the children and families of Pacifica. 70 years of providing a space for all children regardless of their skill a space to gather, belong, and be part of something bigger than “just” basketball, you were a part of a community- a bigger family! We are heart broken.

Here is a quote from Pope Francis:
"Sports in the community can be a great missionary tool, where the Church is close to every person to help them become better... I find there are three paths for young people: the path of education, the path of sports, and the path of work. If there are these three paths, I assure you there wouldn't be dependencies: no drugs, no alcohol!"
Unfortunately this decision is cutting off the path of Sports for our Youth.

I’m disappointed to learn of the decision to eliminate the youth basketball program at St. Peter’s. This program is not just about sports. It’s about teamwork, it is about health, building friendships that can last a lifetime. Removing it, takes away from the kids in the community. This program is what the parish should be investing in. I hope the decision can be reconsidered.

CYO Basketball is beyond just basketball but so much more for the children in Pacifica. I’m fortunate to have life long best friends from the program and we regular reference memories from our time playing. I hope my daughter gets the same chance to play one day!

Do the right thing here. As a parish with such a supportive community you should be ashamed of yourselves. Having worked with and supported numerous non-profit organizations it’s clear what is happening here. A blatant money grab due to severe financial mismanagement. Listen to the community, listen to your parishioners. Bring the program back. Be transparent and let the community of Pacifica do what they do best - support the children. If it’s too much for you then let community organizers help
