The year was 1982. Pope John Paul II was in the fourth year of his twenty-six year pontificate. The cost of a firstclass stamp was twenty cents. And in the world of golf, Craig Stadler won The Masters.

 

For Sacred Heart supporter Edward Bovich, 1982 was the year he collaborated with Fr. Bob Byrne, then rector of St. John Seminary in Plymouth, to create the Desert Meals program and the Desert Golf Classic, to promote community participation and provide financial support for the annual Desert Formation Experience of our seminarians. The Desert Formation Experience is an intensive six-week spiritual journey for seminarians who have completed their first year of theological training. Through this pilgrimage, the men—traveling this year to the Holy Land and to Rome—grow in faith and understanding of their call to holiness and priestly service.

Thanks to Mr. Bovich and the many supporters of the Desert Meals and the Desert Golf Classic, more than $1.8 million have been raised to support Sacred Heart seminarians.

 

Please join us for our Twentyfifth Annual Desert Classic on Monday, September 17, 2007. It will be held at the Inn at St. John's in Plymouth, for the benefit of our seminarians, for the glory of God . . . and for fun!
