Welcome

The Santa Croce Foundation is a Canadian registered charity (registration number 8660 4502RR0001) that seeks to support financially the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross. We help the University by raising much needed resources to advance its mission.We do this mainly by providing scholarships to seminarians and priests studying at the University and by funding specific programs in the different faculties through Joint Ventures.

 

The Italian name of the university is Pontificia Universitą della Santa Croce. http://www.pusc.it/eng/ .  This is why we called our foundation the Santa Croce Foundation.

 

A pontifical university is a Roman Catholic university established by and directly under the authority of the Holy See. It is licensed to grant academic degrees in sacred faculties, the most important of which are Theology, Canon Law, Sacred Scripture and Philosophy.

Tevelec Charity Golf Classic for Santa Croce
MARK YOUR CALENDARS!!!

The 2011 Tevelec Charity Golf Classic in support of the Santa Croce Foundation was held onMonday, September 19th at Glen Eagle Golf Club in Bolton, Ontario.  We had a great time even though mother nature decided that it needed to water the earth.  We decided to shorten the play to 9 holes and then enjoyed the warmth of the clubhouse.  

Unfortunately nobody was able to score a hole-in-one for the beautiful Chevrolet Camaro Convertible, but we all had fun trying!

Father Anthony Griffin gave us a first hand glimse of what living and studying at Santa Croce University is like.

Our winners gratefully accepted their trophies and will have their names inscribed on the Tevelec Charity Golf Classic trophy.  Mike Short, Robert Sanders, John Mullins, and Michael Currie came out on top and a hearty congratulations goes out to them.

Remember to mark Thursday, September 20th 2012 into your calendars for the next Tevelec Chairty Golf Classic in support of the Pontifical University of Santa Croce.
