Hole-In-One Earns Burke Catholic Alum Trip to Vegas

Jim Smith, ‘06, who has played golf for only two years, recorded his first hole-in-one in a Liberty Indian Booster Club outing at Swan Lake Golf & Country Club three weeks ago. His prize - a three-day, two-night stay at the Rio Las Vegas Hotel & Casino and two free rounds of golf.

Smith’s ace came on the par-3, 148-yard 11th hole. He was the last member of his foursome to tee off. No one had come close to the flag. Smith’s ball took two bounces on the green and rolled straight toward the hole, which was set in the back center.

Congratulations Jim!!

Chapel Memorials Available

 

In our continuing effort to beautify our school chapel, we hope to purchase frontals (decorative material which cover the front of the altar) in each of the liturgical colors (white, green, red and violet). Each frontal will cost $2000 and can be memorialized for any person, living or deceased and the name of the person, as well as the donor, will be placed on our chapel donors plaque located in the chapel. Please contact Msgr. Byrnes (jbyrnes@burkecatholic.org) if you would be interested in donating one of the frontals in honor/memory of a loved one.

 

Additionally, we are looking to place a statue of the Blessed Mother in each of our classrooms, and these can be memorialized as well. Each statue costs  $200 and a memorial plaque will be placed on the base of each statue. Contact Msgr. Byrnes if you are interested in donating a statue.
