Seton Men's Club

Fellowship

On the second Wednesday of each month, 80 to 120 motivated men get together at a ritual known as the Monthly Men’s Club meeting.  Some are young executives on the way up. Others are older retired folk, maybe somewhat past their prime!! However, they are an excited an enthusiastic bunch (except the cranky one in the back row!) With that number of men in the room along with an ample supply of refreshments, there will be at least 120 different opinions on each topic. This requires some strong leadership which the Men’s Club fortunately has. Our key officers and leaders are listed below:
 

Men’s Club Scholarship Program

The 2022 Men's Club Scholarship Program will open for applications soon.  Watch for details in the bulletin.

The Seton Me n’s Club is proud to announce their 2020 scholarship winners. Emily Schmidt and Orlaith Shave won the $2,000 Catholic High School Scholarships. Prarthana Dias, Macaela Gross, Hanna Guidry, Jordon Manworren, Haley Stroh, and Risha Valera won $2,500 College Scholarships. Amelia Jauregui won the Ed Wall Memorial Scholarship for $5000 for her excellent service to the church and community. The Seton Men’s Club would again like to congratulate all of their scholarship winners.

Family Activities

The Men’s Club plans and holds an array of activities for the members and their families. A favorite is the Annual Family Picnic usually held at the Country Place Clubhouse and Pool.
With several Golf Tournaments, trips to Stars games, Maverick games and the Lone Star Race Track, the year gets pretty busy. But it is not so busy we can’t squeeze in the Frisco Rough Riders and a Rangers’ game.

If this is your bag, come to a meeting and sign up for your favorite activity. Once you attend an event, you will be deemed qualified to be an event coordinator!!! Someone’s got to do it!!
