CCW ANNUAL GOLF TOURNAMENT
As you know, due to the circumstances of Covid-19, we made the decision to cancel our golf tournament last year.
The good news is that this year we will hold our golf tournament but because of the circumstances, things will be done a little differently .
We want to provide a fun day of golfing and but in as safe a manner as possible.
For 2021, we are going to offer an “Endless Summer” golf tournament. Rather than everyone congregating together on a single day,
you will now have the chance to pick your day to golf with your friends/family at Scotch Valley Country Club!
The dates of our tournament will begin on Monday May 17th and end on Friday September 17th.
Below you will find the details of how to sign up, fees, etc.
Any further questions can be directed to communityofficeccw@gmail.com.

Devotion to St. Joseph
Teresa of Avila teaches us that wisdom and spiritual fruitfulness come from a spirituality rooted in total dedication to the Incarnate Word. (CCW Constitutions #12) As members of the Carmelite Community of the Word, we are inspired by the response of Mary to God’s invitation to participation in the mystery of the Incarnation. Teresa teaches us that St. Joseph, protector of Carmel, is likewise a powerful model for us in our desire to live lives of prayer, penance and service. As daughters of Teresa our spirituality follows her lead and recognizing St. Joseph as one who is always ready to guide and intercede on our behalf as he did for Mary and Jesus during his life on earth.
