On Wednesday, June 3, 2026, golfers, sponsors, volunteers, and supporters gathered at Glen Abbey Golf Club in Oakville for the sixth Bishop’s Charities Invitational Golf Tournament.
The tournament welcomed 124 golfers for a day of fellowship, friendly competition, and charitable giving in support of De Mazenod Door. Thanks to the generosity of participants and sponsors, this year’s event raised $100,000 to support the organization’s mission of serving the poor and marginalized in Hamilton.
Marking its sixth tournament since inception, the Bishop’s Charities Invitational has now raised approximately $600,000 for charitable causes and outreach initiatives, reflecting the continued generosity of the Catholic community across the Diocese of Hamilton.
This year’s event was also a special occasion for Bishop Joseph Dabrowski, CSMA, who attended his first golf tournament as Bishop of Hamilton and enjoyed watching the game firsthand. Throughout the day, Bishop Dabrowski had the opportunity to meet golfers, sponsors, and volunteers while witnessing firsthand the spirit of generosity and fellowship that has become a hallmark of the tournament.
