Baseball
At Morris Catholic, we strive to teach the skills of life and the skills of the game the right way. We want our student-athletes to strive to become the best players they can be and contribute in their roles to the success of the team. Off the field, the Varsity team takes a Spring Training trip to Florida during the preseason in order to practice and play a few scrimmages in the warmer weather. Like other MC sports, the boys play in the Northwest Jersey Athletic Conference in the Independence Division and are part of the North Non-Public B State Section. Student-athletes also complete one team service project.

Friends of Marty
The Friends of Marty organization was formed in honor of Marty Boryczewski (MC Alum) who died at the World Trade Center on 9/11. In his memory, a few of his baseball buddies from his MC days in the early 90's support MC Athletics through a scholarship program. The Friends of Marty are welcomed to a home baseball game each year to help fund raise and throw out the First Pitch. For more about the Friends of Marty visit their website:
