Our Mission

​

​Golf For Vocations is a 501c3 charitable organization whose mission is supporting vocations in the Diocese of Phoenix.   

​

Each year we hold 2 fund-raising golf tournaments.  Established in 2005, this year will be our 20th Anniversary.  We are grateful to all our sponsors, supporters, and volunteers that, over the years, have helped us raise hundreds of thousands of dollars.  100% of these proceeds have gone directly to the Vocations Office.  ​

​

Because we have been blessed with the recent formation of our own Seminary, we are all called to support these efforts in whatever way we can.  ​The cost of education and formation for a single Priest is significant.  Considering the record number of seminarians we now have, and with the opening of The Nazareth Seminary, the need for financial support is greater than ever before. 

 

We are grateful for the ongoing participation of all our sponsors and players and we look forward to growing the event in the years to come.​  With your involvement in this tournament, you are helping with the critically important process of the formation of our future Priests.   Remember the words of St John Paul II; ‘Without seminarians, we have no priests; without priests, we have no sacraments; and without sacraments, we have no church’. 

 

Thank you for your support.​

Why The Bill Folz Memorial?
Bill Folz, Jr. was known as "Mr. Serra" in Arizona. He held many offices including Serra International board member, and hosted the Serra International Conference in Phoenix during the 1980s. Bill continued to promote vocations as a Serran.
​Bill's passion for supporting vocations was evident as he helped found several Serra Clubs, a lay organization whose mission is the supporting of vocations.  He was the president of the Phoenix Club and helped start the Serra Club of the East Valley in 2001. 

​

Bill was also a dedicated volunteer at our first two golf tournaments and enjoyed working the prize holes. With his quick wit and humor he was a natural to encourage players to ante up with financial support for vocations. Join us in honoring Bill, who remains a great example of what it means to be a "Serran":

​

  • To pray daily for current and new vocations.

  • To foster fellowship by affirming vocations to the ordained priesthood.

  • Financial support for the Diocesan Vocations Office.
