close Catholic Youth Organization CYO The Catholic Youth Organization CYO of the Archdiocese of Detroit was founded in 1933 to help metropolitan Detroits children live clean wholesome lives regardless of their religious faith their racial background or their daytoday living conditions. CYO is not a department of the Archdiocese of Detroit it has a separate and independent Board of Directors approved by the Archbishop annually. CYO believes in becoming a true partner with our communitys young people it helps them to enjoy their youth it teaches them to become faith and community leaders and after they are grown it encourages them to work with the next generation of youth replicating this same process over and over again throughout our community Since 1939 the Catholic Youth Organization for the Archdiocese of Detroit has been fulfilling its mission in service to the Catholic community of Metro Detroit. Our founding documents put forth the main purpose of CYO as the development of Catholic life in the Catholic Youth.
