Robert McGrath to Be Honored at Annual St. Joseph's Men's Club Dinner Thursday, October 6


By John C. Kelty, St. Joseph's Men’s Club


Oct. 5, 2016:  The St. Joseph's Men's Club will be holding its third annual Pastor's Dinner on Thursday, October 6, 2016, at Siwanoy Country Club. 

The event provides a moment when the men of the community can come together and share an evening of camaraderie and good cheer, celebrating and supporting the vibrant programs of the Parish of St. Joseph's.

The inaugural pastor's dinner saw the men's club recognize past presidents, while last year's event recognized Deacon Robert Schimpf. Deacon Bob, a familiar face in town, has faithfully served the St. Joseph's Parish for the last decade.

At this year's dinner, the men's club will honor Robert McGrath for his years of service not only to the St. Joseph's Parish, but to the wider Bronxville and Eastchester communities, as well. 

Beyond running the family business, Bob, a lifelong resident of the village, has been involved in numerous community organizations ranging from the Rotary Club to the Knights of Columbus. 

He has served as president of the Bronxville Republican committee and has served on the boards of the Eastchester Senior Citizens Council and the Bronxville Non-Partisan Committee. And to boot, Bob played the part of a wise man in the annual Bronxville Christmas Pageant for over 30 years, a tradition that was started by his father and passed down to Bob and his brother and continues in the McGrath family today.

An avid sports fan, Bob has been a coach across the spectrum from pee wee programs right up through the high school level, influencing multiple generations of local youth. His support has not waned in recent years and more often than not you can still find him among the spectators at any given youth sporting event.

To register or learn more about the evening, please visit the men's club website at www.stjosephswarrior.com or reach out to Tom Okon at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. 

All in the community are welcome and encouraged to join what will certainly be an evening of celebration with friends new and old--attendees need not be SJMC members.

The night kicks off at 7:00 pm with a cocktail hour, followed by dinner at 8:00 pm.
