Camp Capers’ 65th Anniversary The 65th anniversary of Camp Capers will be celebrated at Camp Capers on Saturday, May 26. Come see people you haven’t seen in years. Registration is now open; visit the Special Events page on the diocesan website at www.dwtx.org. Feel free to invite any and all Capers alumns. For more information, please contact Jean Beere at jean.beere@dwtx.org or 210/888-824-5387. Dig Out Those Fishing Poles... The Annual Fishin’ for Mission Fishing Tournament Returns Anglers from all over the diocese and beyond will converge on St. Peter’s, Rockport, to intimidate the trout and redfish, see old friends, and make new ones. The annual Fishin’ for Mission fishing tournament will take place Friday-Saturday, June 22-23. The $125 dollar entry fee ($75 for youth under 17) includes a wonderful al fresco dinner at St. Peter’s on Friday at registration, entry to the tournament on Saturday, and a yummy smorgasbord of goodies when you get back to weigh in at the Saltwater Pavilion at Rockport Beach Park (a destination of its own). In addition, fishermen will have an opportunity to win all sorts of raffle prizes, and best of all, proceeds go to support diocesan World Mission projects. There is a guided division for those without a boat or gear. If you are not a fisherman but would still like to contribute, consider sponsoring the tournament. Grab your fishing buddies (up to four on a team) and make plans to join the fun. If you haven’t discovered Rockport yet, or met the friendly folks at St. Peter’s, it’s high time. For more information check the Diocesan website at www.dwtx.org, or call St. Peter’s at 361-729-2649 or Michael Glick at 210-382-3206.
