On Saturday, October 19, The St Joseph Men’s Ministry (SJMM) hosted approximately 120 with a BBQ lunch in the Holy Family picnic area in support of the Family of Faith Ministry (FFM). The BBQ followed a money-raising Fun Run for the FFM. Runners, walkers, strollers, and perambulators circled a quarter mile loop in a clockwise direction around the field and Dominican cemetery behind Mission San Jose. Runners were sponsored with donations for each lap completed within the 9 AM – 10 AM time for the event. Featured among the 85 or so registered runners was St Joseph’s own Fr. Anthony who completed 4 miles.

Approximately $5000 was raised for FFM from runner sponsors and a free will donation box at the BBQ. The BBQ ran out of hot dogs quickly. We never seem to get that count right.

Thanks to all the SJMM who assisted at the BBQ: Greg Stephens, Jerome Hubacek, Skip Phair, Richard Lightholder, Mike Burns, Gary Dorighi, Tom Leen, Mike Gaffey, Ron Brazil, John Pohlman, Steve Conn, William Eagan, Bill Irvin and Thomas Pham.
