Catalyst Catholic Athletics is a ministry of the New Albany Deanery, providing athletic opportunities for elementary, middle school, and high school youth who attend a Catholic parish or school within Clark, Floyd, or Harrison counties in Indiana. Through our year-round athletic ministry, Catalyst Catholic is dedicated to giving athletes a positive environment where they can develop fundamental skills while growing with their Catholic community. Our Athletic Ministry program is overseen by athletic directors at participating parishes. These events complement the wide variety of middle school ministry and high school ministry offered at local, deanery parishes.
