Mike Grieder, Joe Smith, Most Holy Trinity pincipal Mike Brennan and Dick Irwin at last year's golf tournament for the school.

In a recent issue of The Catholic Sun, I wrote about an upcoming golf tournament to support vocations. The money will mainly support current seminarians and provide gifts to priests come ordination day.

The same issue also featured a brief article about another golf tournament to support the forthcoming cancer shrine in Mesa. 

Turns out there’s several more benefit golf tournaments coming up where your “green fees” will keep more than just the grass alive. 

Consider hole sponsorships and prize donations as well. Tee off any time May 2-June 16.

Check specific dates below.

Select a date, time and cause that works best for you and enjoy a round of fellowship and golf before the courses get too hot.
