Man With Louisiana Connection Teaching Catholic Values To Georgia Football Players

The Georgia Bulletin has a great story here at Teachable moments on the gridiron which involves the football team at Holy Spirit Prep in Atlanata that look like quite the impressive school!!!

What a great article!! My Dyy is made by just reading it!!

What makes these article interesting for me at least is there is Louisiana connection.

From the article we find the head Coach of this Junior Football Team is Brian Moscona that has quite the background.

Here we note Mr. Moscona was born in New Orleans, Louisiana and attended Catholic High School in Baton Rouge. He then studied marketing and public policy at the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana. He also spent a year discerning if he had a Vocation to the Priesthood.

On a side note , thought not mentioned in the article, the Head football Coach of the Varsity Team seems to have some Louisiana connection. See Holy Spirit Prep hires new football coach .

Here we learn Coach Jim Falcetti spent 3 year in Baton Rouge coaching at at Redemptorist High School in Baton Rouge, Louisiana which at the time won the State Championship. . From his bio we also see he teaches Latin and English. We also learn He most recently returned from archeological work in Italy where he served as residence chief and assistant trench supervisor on an excavation of an Etrsucan temple. His current projects include reporting on the excavation and contributing to a publication on the Roman poet Martial.

Returning to the assistant Coach to the Varsity team that is mentioned in the article , though he has no Louisiana connection that I can see, Tom Curtin is a Latin and religion teacher who also directs the school’s liturgical choir!! He also has has served the school as a faculty mentor in the Moda Real Apostolate, as a junior high football coach, as a team leader for HSP’s religious retreat program, and as Master of the House of Chalcedon. Oh and he like al the men above he went to Notre Dame, and got his Law degree too boot.

It seems on the whole paradise if you want to have you son learn football and be Catholic.
