| JASPER-In spite of a two-hour rain delay, over 60 golfers participated
in the annual Serra Club Day of Recreation honoring archdiocesan priests and
Religious at the Bent Tree Country Club in early September.
A tennis tournament was also held during the day Sept. 9. Father Victor
Galier, parochial vicar of Holy Spirit Church, Atlanta, won the tennis
tournament for the second year in a row and Father Bill Hoffman, pastor of St.
Joseph's Church in Dalton, was awarded a titanium tennis racquet for his many
years of participation.
The first place team in the rain-shortened nine hole golf tournament
included Father Terry Kane, pastor of Sacred Heart of Jesus Church in Hartwell;
Don Sasso, principal of St. Pius X High School in Atlanta; Steve Siler,
director of development at St. Pius, and Gary Furin.
Archbishop John F. Donoghue thanked the members of the Serra Club for their
support, and after enjoying a country buffet, priests attending the day of
recreation received a souvenir Serra Club logo sport shirt along with numerous
other door prizes.
