CWN Editor's Note: In a January 13 audience with members of Athletica Vaticana, Pope Francis praised athletics as “a path of life that may help you to build a more united community and to promote the values of Christian life: loyalty, sacrifice, team spirit, commitment, inclusion, asceticism, redemption.”

Athletica Vaticana began as a community of runners and is now the Vatican City State’s official sports association.
