The FORE Pete’s Sake Golf Tournament is held each year and memorializes a treasured member of St. Peter’s.

This year our parish family remembers Dana Montefiore Knickerbocker. Dana was born in Meriden, CT in 1967. In May 1989, she graduated from Trinity College with a Bachelor of Arts in Economics. After graduation, she worked for the Connecticut DMV as a management analyst, where she met her future husband, Jeffrey.

In 1997, she was married in the Episcopal Church where Jeffrey was a member. After getting married, she and Jeffrey moved to New Mexico, where they had their first child, Bethany, who was baptized in the Episcopal Church.

Eventually Dana and Jeffrey settled in Wallingford, CT to raise their children, Bethany and Daniel. After searching the area for a welcoming church, they joined St. Peter’s.

Dana volunteered time to the church, teaching Sunday school, participating in the mother’s group and as Treasurer of St. Peter’s Episcopal Church Women. She baked regularly for bake sales and assisted the hospitality committee.

Dana valued love and faith above all, which helped her through her journey with cancer. She is buried at St. Peter’s Church. Her friends and family miss her dearly.

The monies raised support the ministries of St. Peter’s in Cheshire and surrounding communities.  Tournament activities have included a hole in one contest, 50/50 raffles, closest to the pin prizes, longest drive prizes and awards to the 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd place teams.

After play was completed, all golfers, volunteers, friends and family gathered for a cookout, accompanied by the announcement of contest and raffle prize winners, as well as a robust silent auction. Join us for this fun inter-generational community event, while engaging the friends and families of our golfers with activities like a golf clinic and banquet.

The Community Pumpkin Patch, held in the month of October, is a joint venture with St. Peter’s Church and Cheshire High School Best Buddies.  Best Buddies is a program which partners special needs students with non-special needs classmates; working at the pumpkin patch allows those friendships to grow.  The Pumpkin profits have been a source of outreach programs in the Waterbury, New Haven and Cheshire areas for over 14 years.  On Pumpkin Delivery Day (usually the last Saturday or Sunday in September or first weekend in October), volunteers from St. Peter’s Church and CHS Best Buddies unload over 1000 pumpkins and set up the patch for the pumpkin sales.
