2017 Cascia Classic Annual Golf Tournament and Banquet - Sponsorship opportunities still available!
Cascia Classic History and Mission
The Cascia Classic (originally founded under the name Congo Classic 2003) takes its mission and inspiration from the life and charism of Saint Rita of Cascia. Saint Rita was an Augustinian Nun who served many, and suffered greatly for those whom she loved. She is known as a Peacemaker and the Saint of the Impossible, and she brought light and hope to everyone she met.
The Cascia Classic supports the Cascia Center in Philadelphia, the Augustinian Fund, families in need and special Augustinian ministries. Whether it is an orphanage across the globe or a community center in South Philadelphia, your efforts are helping people who might be tempted to give into despair, see clearly that with faith and love all things are possible!
