St. Catherine of Siena

Charity Golf Tournament

May 29, 2015 

All men and women, golfers of all levels, are invited to come out and enjoy a day of golf and good fellowship while at the same time supporting a very worthy, charitable cause.  A full day of activities is planned to include lunch, practice range, 18 holes of golf, contests, raffle prizes, cocktail hour, and dinner. Dinner will be followed by our ever popular putting contest.  The proceeds from the tournament will support Pantry Partners.

This charity golf tournament will be conducted using a Scramble format. This makes it fun for all players and for all levels.  Many prizes will be awarded.  In addition, everyone can participate in the post-dinner putting contest. 

In addition to playing, there are other ways to help support the charity. Several key Sponsorship opportunites are available and are described in more detail on the Registration Page.

So invite your fellow parishioners, friends, and family members to join you for a fun filled day and to help make a difference in the lives of others by supporting Pantry Partners.

Pantry Partners, a ministry of St. Catherine of Siena Parish, provides food for needy individuals and families from Simsbury. The ministry usually helps between 38 and 65 groups who are identified by Simsbury Social Services. Pantry Partners spends between $1,200 and $2,500 per month depending on need, donations, and holidays.

Pantry Partners began in the Spring of 2010 using Angel Food Ministries, a national non-profit organization, as provider of the food. When Angel Food Ministries encountered financial problems, St. Catherine of Siena Parish decided to form Pantry Partners to continue this worthy project by providing local services on its own.

The St. Catherine of Siena Parish Men's Club is an organization of men in our parish which is dedicated to working to improve our parish and the community around us. The mission of the Men's Club is to provide outreach through social and service activities. Over the years, the Men's Club has constructed a food pantry for Sacred Heart Church in Hartford, undertaken various construction renovation projects involving our own parish facilities and home repairs for needy parishioners, provided financial support for parish-sponsored scholarships, purchased CVS cards for seniors, and has supported a variety of other worthwhile causes. In addition, the Men's Club sponsors or supports various events during the year, including the Annual Men's Retreat at Holy Family.
