This year, our tournament is dedicated to supporting the Mission San Luis Rey Parish, which helps needy families and youth activities, and the “Semper Fi & America’s Fund, which provides financial support to combat-wounded, ill, and injured service members and their families. Your participation and contributions will go a long way in aiding these incredible causes.

Honoring a Hero

Our tournament holds a special place in our hearts as it is dedicated to the memory of MSgt Tuputala (Tala) Paulo, a retired Marine who passed away in May 2022. Tala was a true cornerstone of our parish and community, exemplifying our core mission of “In service to One, In service to all”.He reflected our comittment to serviing God and our fellow human beings and he captured our mission of Charity, Unity, Fraternity & Patriotism. We are honored to remember and celebrate his legacy through this event.

Exciting Upgrades and Features
