Letter: Thank You for 14th Annual St. Patrick Golf Outing and Awards Banquet

Thank you to the men and women who enjoyed a beautiful day with us on Sunday August 18th!  The outing, sponsored by the St. Patrick Men’s Club, was held at Blackberry Oaks Golf Course followed by a delicious steak dinner at the new Kennedy Pointe Restaurant & Pub.

The proceeds from the outing are used to fund youth activities at the Parish.  Four $500.00 Scholarship Awards for Catholic School tuition were presented at the Banquet by Father Matt Lamoureux, Pastor and Greg Kraber, Men’s Club President.  The scholarship winners were Michael Rouse (St. Raymond Cathedral School - Joliet), Madison Schramer and Matthew Schramer (Marquette Academy - Ottawa) and Angela Feltz (St. Mary’s School - Plano). CONGRATULATIONS!

A free round of golf, courtesy of Blackberry Oaks, was awarded to the team of Father Matt, Dennis Donnellan, Mike Knutson and Michael Rome for a low score of 65.  The coveted “Traveling Trophy” for a high score of 79 went to Paul McGill, Gary Katula, Sjors DeWitt and Troy Ellsoos!
