“It is not right to take the food of the children and throw it to dogs” Matthew 15:26







Dear Community of Saint Joseph’s;

 

 

Dear Community of Saint Joseph’s;

 

 

I am excited to invite you to participate in Saint Joseph’s Fourteenth Annual Golf Tournament and Second Annual Dinner Dance.  Since we enjoy seeing the beauty of the surface of the ocean every day in Capitola-by-the-Sea, we thought it would be fun to explore the splendor beneath the waves and voila our theme for this year is:

 

All churches have to raise funds in addition to the Sunday collection and some parishes have a multitude of events all year long to supplement their income.  I personally find the prospect of promoting monetary events every Sunday    exhausting and distracting from the spiritual purpose of our church attendance.  I  prefer to put a substantial amount of energy into one major parish fund raising experience.  Consequently I hope you will join in making this year’s

tournament and dinner dance our most successful event ever!

 

There are a multitude of ways you can get involved and offer support:

 

We welcome all golfers.  Beginners, Intermediate and Advanced.  Create your own Foursome or we will be happy to match you up with a group in your experience level.

 

Come to the dinner dance.  Our parish hall will be transformed into a colorful underwater world for splendid dining and dancing.   If you are not a golfer you may decide to attend just the dinner dance.

 

Purchase raffle tickets.  We have five wonderful prizes donated by parishioners so every ticket you buy or sell for Saint Joseph’s is a financial advantage for the parish.

 

Be a Golf Tournament Sponsor.  We have several levels of sponsorship available and if you sponsor in the name of your business we will promote your company in our Parish Bulletin, Santa Cruz Sentinel newspaper and all of our Golf Tournament Event Publicity.

 

Consider donating a gift to our Dinner Dance Silent Auction.  We are putting a list in the parish bulletin weekly identifying the gifts we would like to display and sell before the dinner dance begins.  Perhaps you might consider donating an item or a themed gift basket in honor of your favorite ministry.

 

Thank you for your support and enthusiasm and please consider the ways in which you can help us in making this a successful, relaxing and enjoyable occasion for everyone in Saint Joseph’s Catholic Community.

 

 

 

 

 

Father Matt Pennington

Pastor
