How to find Spirituality in your Run retreat
Oct 30, 2021 7:00am - 9:00am
Fee: Goodwill offering that will be put towards running shoes for Project Renewal.
While running can be a solitary experience, there is also the potential for it being deeply communal. Join us for a morning that begins not with the starter’s pistol, but instead the sublime miracle of a sunrise. Our Lady of the Prairie Retreat is the perfect place for this gathering! Please bring a poem or passage regarding running and spirituality that speaks to you, that you would be willing to share. Click here to read complete details about the event, or call 563-336-8414.
