Imaginary Walk to Ireland - Starting June 21st
Did you know that it is 3,722 miles to get to Ireland? Father Gifford is going to Ireland (leading a group) so the Wellness Committee thought it might be fun to see if we could walk the number of miles it would take to get to Ireland. Along the way there will be some education on the places in Ireland they will go on their trip. If you like other forms of exercise you can convert that into steps. There is no need for a pedometer. For example:

Also we will have a fun new aspect. When you enter the walk your name will be put in for a weekly prize drawing.
Starting in May there will be sign up sheets in the Narthex. We will also have sign ups after Mass closer to the time of the walk. Come join us!!!
