A Lenten ‘Walk with the Apostles’
Sign up sheets will be available at the entrances of both our churches.     
                                                         
The Walk with the Apostles to Jerusalem is an imaginary walk that encourages walkers to increase physical activity, spiritual growth and cultural awareness through a virtual tour to Jerusalem.  Beginning on Ash Wednesday (February 22nd) and ending on Palm Sunday (April 2nd), members of Holy Apostles Parish are invited to join in a parishwide, virtual, Lenten Walk with the Apostles, an exercise intended to strengthen our bodies, minds, and spirits. Participants can log miles through physical exercise and spiritual practices. Every 20 minutes of walking, running, dancing, chair exercises, yoga, working out at the gym, etc. and/ or prayer, bible study, or community service count as one mile. Parishioners can record their miles on an official mileage log sheet or via email at nurses@holyapostlescatholic.com each weekend. The logged miles from each person will be added together to move the parish along on our journey to Jerusalem. On our journey, we will ‘visit’ other parishes named for each of the Apostles in the order that Jesus invited them to follow Him, and we will pray to each of the Apostles.   Upon reaching each location along the journey, click on the Apostle's name below for a link to prayers to say while there.  Please join us for this Lenten adventure!
