YOU ASKED FOR IT! 

YOU WANTED WAYS TO GET MORE EXERCISE! 

HERE IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY: 

JOIN THE RISEN CHRIST CATHOLIC CHURCH COMMUNITY IN THE 

HOLY WALK AROUND THE WORLD 

12 WEEKS 

JUNE 10 – AUGUST 31, 2024 

 The program titled “Holy Walk Around the World” is a combination exercise and prayer format for our parish family.  It provides twelve weeks of exercising with the added opportunity to include bible readings and prayer intentions for meditation.  These prayer intentions mention the needs of your families, neighborhoods, parish, communities, country, and our world.  Together we can be a powerhouse of prayer, as we walk the miles locally with family and friends, and combine our efforts to complete the 24,901 mile journey around the world.  This is a unique opportunity to exercise both spiritual and physical muscles in union with our parish family. 

 How to begin: 

• Sign up for the Walk after masses the weekends of May 26th, June 2nd and June 9th.  Collect your materials and instructions, then begin walking on Monday, June 10th. (Note: other aerobic exercises such as swimming, tennis, basketball, team practice, biking, etc. will be given a mile credit for every 20 minutes).  Young children can also participate by doing a good deed or doing chores or just going outside and running around, putting down the electronics for an hour. 
• Pick up the materials (geographical information, weekly mileage account slip on the bottom of the weekly sheet, and prayer intention) in the Narthex weekly after Saturday or Sunday Mass. 
• Each Saturday or Sunday for 12 weeks, turn in your miles in a designated basket in the Narthex. 
• Watch the miles accumulate as each person contributes to our journey around the world.  These miles will be plotted weekly on the map located on a kiosk in the Narthex. 

• If you go on vacation, you can turn your mileage records in when you return. 
• If you have any questions ask a member of the Health Ministry team.   
• You can call or text: 
• Pat Taylor at 208 272-0730 
• Terry Gallaher at 208 850-6961 

Hopefully, once this twelve week period is finished, we will have developed habits of praying as we go about our daily activities.  In addition, the opportunity to continue exercising frequently can contribute to our physical health.  Have fun following in the footsteps of Christ, as you “Holy Walk Around the World.”
