Bishop’s Annual Golf Classic
The 12th Annual Bishop’s Classic Golf Tournament, held every year at the Piñon Hills Golf Course in Farmington, raised $18,000 this year for the Catholic Peoples Foundation. CPF supports several missions in the Diocese of Gallup – specifically, Catholic Schools, seminarian education, and maintenance of church buildings throughout the Diocese.
“All of us at the Foundation deeply appreciate the support of our players, donors, volunteers and the people who made this year’s event a success,” said Herb Mosher, director of the Foundation, in a letter to event participants.
The first place team included Jimmy Voita, Mike Voita, Pete Krumholz and Ernesto Sanchez. The second place team included Bill McCarthy, David J. Rodriguez, John Hansen and Andy Roach. A team from St. Mary Parish in Farmington, comprising Whitney Howle, John Archibeque, Dan Casey and Doug Sprague won the St. Andrew Traveling Trophy, a new 2018 prize. Each team could play for their parish, with the winners taking the trophy for display in their church until the following year.

Mission Trip to Guatemala
The parishes of Bloomfield and Blanco are excited to announce a mission partnership with Escuela Integrada, a Christocentric school serving children who live in poverty in the villages surrounding Antigua, Guatemala.
Beginning in January 2019, St. Mary and St. Rose of Lima parishes will be the sponsors of the Kindergarten classroom. Their gift to the school will be $1000 a month, which will finance the Kindergarten teacher’s salary, classroom supplies and other expenses. In addition, a small group from the parishes will visit the school each year in person on an annual mission trip.

Vocations Office Update
From Fr. Josh Mayer, Vocations Office Director: “We currently have three seminarians studying for the Diocese of Gallup, two of whom are new to our program this year. Aaron Alford (2nd year) from Ontario, Canada, Luciano Diaz (1st year) from Farmington, NM and Peter Scheck (1st year) Florida. The address to reach our seminarians is: (name) 7625 N. High Street, Columbus, OH 43235. Our men love to hear that they are supported & receiving prayers from the people they are called to serve. I remember when we would receive letters from people who were praying for us—it was always encouraging. Our favorites were letters and pictures from our school kids!”
