24th Annual Fr. Andrew Charity Golf Tournament

Note from Fr. Tom
Dear Parishioners and Friends of St. Patrick-St. Anthony
and the Franciscan Center for Urban Ministry,
May the Lord give you peace.
I thank you for your support of our 24th annual Fr. Andrew Golf
Tournament. I hope you had a wonderful day and are content with your
low score. This remarkable event supports a wide diversity of ministries
from Art to Social Justice. One significant dimension is our care for the
hungry and poor who find their way to our doors. Our sandwich ministry
provides not just sandwiches but also compassion and hospitality. This
ministry is provided every day. I am grateful to you for your support as well
as for the countless ministers who make the sandwiches and those who
greet and offer the sandwiches. Your support also helps to meet the needs
of those who have lost everything including identification/ social security
cards, those who are newly released from jail (often with only the clothes
worn while incarcerated) or parents who are struggling to meet the basic
needs of their families. In their name, I thank you for your participation.
I thank our Golf Committee for the extraordinary work of making this day
happen, the many folks who sold or bought raffle tickets, ads, played or
joined us for dinner and our auction.
I especially thank Scot Haney for being our Auctioneer!
I thank you.
Peace and all good,
Fr. Tom Gallagher, ofm
Pastor
