Catholic golfers gathered at the Ikeja Golf Club, yesterday, for a special charity golf kitty themed “Swing to Serve with Love.”

The event is organised to raise funds for the mental health and wellbeing of priests, religious, and consecrated persons.

The Chairman of the Organising Committee, Mrs Fatumata Coker, expressed enthusiasm ahead of the event, noting that it promises to be both impactful and inspiring.

“We are looking forward to a great event. In the spirit of Lenten charity and solidarity, we welcome all to play and make donations to the St. Kizito Wellness Project,” she said.

The charity initiative is being promoted by Rev. Fr. Michael Olofinlade, through the St. Kizito Wellness Project, which focuses on strengthening mental health support systems for clergy and consecrated persons.

Speaking on the significance of the initiative, Rev. Fr. Olofinlade said: “This golf kitty is more than a game; it is a charity kitty dedicated to promoting robust mental health support for the cergy, religious and consecrated persons.”

The Chairman of the Competition Committee, Mrs Candy Agu, disclosed that the tournament will be played in the Texas Scramble format and will feature a shotgun start, ensuring an engaging and inclusive experience for participants of all skill levels.
