•Walk To Jerusalem

We at Saint John Bosco Parish are embarking on a "Walk to Jerusalem" that begins on Sunday, December 30, 2007.   Our goal is to walk over 5,000 miles to get to Jerusalem before Easter.   As a Parish Community, our families can do this.

Each participant will record how many miles he or she has walked each day and at the end of each week, submit the number of miles completed by dropping a tally (tally sheets are located on the back pages of this booklet) of the miles walked in one of the "Walk to Jerusalem" boxes at the exits of the church or by emailing your miles to sjbwalk@yahoo.com.

Please note that, in calculating the number of miles walked in a given day, a 1 mile credit is given for every 20 minutes of aerobic exercise.

This program is designed to encourage our Parish to become more active, but even more important, it is to foster spiritual growth. While you are walking or exercising, you should be taking the time to think about the weekly reflections which are provided. Use your exercise time as a time to pray and learn a little more about your relationship with God. There is a different reflection for each week.

We will keep a running tally of our progress and will post notices at the exits of the church to keep you updated on how close we are to reaching our goal. Those who have provided e-mail addresses will also receive updates via e-mail.

As we embark on this journey, may the Lord bless all of you and help you to build a closer relationship with the Lord.

"Let's take a walk with God, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagles"
