Chairs and Committee
“To whom much is given, much will be required” (Luke 12:48)
We are honored and humbled to lead this year’s Bishop’s Invitational Golf Tournament. The mission is noble and the task is nothing short of colossal given that there are so many in our Diocese that desire a Catholic school education. We all know that family formation and education are the keys to solving just about all our of society’s ills. And we know there are countless families within our Diocese that just can’t afford the Catholic education part of the equation. We invite all of you, our friends and our fellow Catholics, to help bring the many benefits (both academic and non-academic) of a Catholic education to more families within our Diocese. Thank you in advance for all your consideration. The children’s gratitude will last a lifetime!

“We are honored to chair this year’s Bishop’s Invitational as we work to make a Catholic education possible for every child in the Diocese of Dallas. With your help, we can continue the golf tournament’s tremendous success in raising funds that go directly to scholarships and tuition assistance. We believe that a first-rate education is critical to help children navigate the modern world and that a quality Catholic education is the single best way to equip a child for a bright future. Our Catholic elementary schools are the perfect place for children to build a strong foundation for high school, college, and beyond, all while nurturing their faith in a Christ-centered environment. We hope that you will join us in supporting the children of our Diocese.”
