Catholic 2012

Posted in




The Catholic 2012 Office is a new project inaugurated by the Catholic Church in England and Wales to examine how best to engage with the world of sport in the run up to the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Its purpose is to also ensure there is a well rooted legacy in place once the Games have packed up and left town.

Catholic 2012 sees that sport and spirituality go hand in hand and that God is very much interested in what we do with our bodies.  We also see the amazing tool that sport can be to develop healthy values and virtues within those willing to engage with the right formation.

The purpose of the office is to engage alongside the sporting world at every level, from those involved with the professional world of sport, to those who are passionate amateurs, and equally and as importantly to those who feel that their sporting days are long over, or in fact never began. 

Catholic 2012 is also involved in engaging at the heart of the 2012 Games within the umbrella ecumenical charity More Than Gold (www.morethangold.org.uk).

So, whether you are an individual in the professional or amateur sporting world, or a Catholic just interested in learning more about what we are up to, please do get in touch with us at the London office with any questions of comments you may have. 

Contact details: James Parker – mob. 07930 119381, email james.parker@morethangold.org.uk.  (The Catholic 2012 website is presently under construction – www.catholic2012.com).
