What are the Spirit Games?
The Spirit Games is an annual faith filled, fun, and enriching family event that supports our Catholic Faith and commitment to our kids' faith journey. Think diocesan wide fall festival, an opportunity to come together to promote family and evangelize our Faith to the youth in our Diocese.
