The Walk of Faith will be shorter this year
Father Alan Shnob and Lana Knight
The Catholic Daughters of the Americas, St. Monica’s Court 2598 of Peru, will host the 2010 “Walk of Faith” on Sunday, October 3, 2010. This year’s walk has been shortened from 7.2 miles to 2.7 miles. Instead of starting at St. Patrick’s Oratory, it will begin at the Lady of Lourdes Shrine behind St. Augustine’s Church and proceed 2.7 miles through the Peru hamlet. Catholic Daughters leader Christa Reyell said, “Several people suggested that we try a shorter distance so we decided to give it a try this year.” Proceeds from the Walk will benefit the Mission of Hope and the Peru Community Church’s Jamaica Project. All participants will receive a ribbon.
There will be plenty of refreshments for everyone. Forrence Orchards will be providing apples, Adirondack Coffee Roasters will provide coffee and Frosty Springs Bottling Company will provide water. It sounds like a wonderful few hours of family prayer, fun and fraternity – A great day for families and faith communities to enjoy one another. Opening ceremonies begin at 12:30 p.m. The Walk begins at 12:45 p.m.
