St. Benedict's Annual Ugly Pants Golf Tournament to Benefit "Path to Shine", and other Outreach Programs at St Benedict's.

History of the Ugly Pants Golf Tournament

The 'Ugly Pants Golf Tournament began as an Outreach Ministry of St. Benedict's Episcopal Church in 2011.

The first three years, Ugly Pants Golf Tournament was held primary for the members of St. Benedict's Community. The funds raised from the Golf Tournament went to St Benedict's Outreach programs which included Path to Shine

In 2014 the Path to Shine Program and St. Benedict's has been a partner in hosting the Golf Tournament since 2014. Both Path to Shine and St. Benedict's share the proceeds.

Path to Shine is still an Outreach Ministry of St. Benedict's but it has its own structure and governance, it is considered a ministry of St. Benedict's parish, although the ministry happens with leadership from all over the diocese in many different sites.

The Ugly Pants Contest

Each year, a contest is held to determine who is wearing the ugliest Pants at the Ugly Pants Tournament. This year Bishop Wright was the judge.
