“Brother Anthony came to our Parish a couple of weeks before we went to Rome. While buying our usual 10 tickets he casually commented on the increased level of 20 tickets. Of course we couldn’t say no. It is probably one of those tickets that won. The moral of this story is to buy more tickets because God does reward those that give. That and Brother Anthony is obviously our good luck charm!” — William Welch, Ft. Collins, CO
Scott Elmer – New York, November Early Bird Prize Winner
Scott Elmer and son, Judah.
“We had an amazing time at the Brown Robe Gala and I am very glad that my wife was so insistent on buying some raffle tickets! I was happy to give to the Capuchins because of all the great work they do but certainly wasn’t expecting to win a trip to New York. It will be a great trip for my wife and I and fun break from the kids! I look forward to continuing to support the Capuchins in their ongoing mission.” Scott Elmer, Centennial, CO
Sabrina Brehmer – Refer-A-Friend, Cabo San Lucas Prize Winner Sabrina’s trip to Cabo will be the first time she has seen the ocean.
Sabrina Brehmer and husband, William.
“Everyone thinks that God didn’t do his job when something bad happens to us. I don’t. I have lost my home and car, gone bankrupt, been homeless and just lived hand to mouth, but every time God sent people, and circumstances and opportunities to me. These things that God put in my life after something bad happened guided my life, changed my direction and even my husband’s career – for the better. God knew we wanted to celebrate our 60th birthday and our 40th anniversary by taking a vacation that we couldn’t afford, and God sent us the Capucians and a raffle and the opportunity to go to Cabos San Lucas. We are thrilled and excited.” Sabrina Brehmer, Castle Rock, CO
Jack Pottle – Sydney, Australia, Multi-Ticket Prize Winner
Jack Pottle and wife, Judy.
“What a thrilling surprise to win the trip to Sydney, Australia! We can’t wait to go and experience this beautiful city and it’s spectacular beaches. We truly value our relationship with the Capuchin Community and appreciate this opportunity.” — Jack Pottle, Denver, CO
Beth Tincani – Rome, Italy, Grand Prize Winner
Beth Ticani, 2018 Road to Rome Raffle Grand Prize Winner.
“For whatever reason God has blessed me with this amazing trip. I have been on several pilgrimages these past few years with Fr. Michael. He likes to say, “Let’s praise God from another part of the planet!” and “The world is a giant Cathedral.” So, it became clear to me this trip was meant to be a pilgrimage. Father Michael, Carol, Bernie and I will be going to pray for The Church. We are staying in a monastery and Father will celebrate Mass every day. We will make a daily Holy Hour, pray the rosary and celebrate life. We are all very excited to bless God with this trip and to give him all the glory!” — Beth Ticani, Lakewood, CO
