Lend a helping hand to over 500 women in need of financial and moral support, baby supplies, parental training and more. The Walk-a-thon consists of participants asking for persons to sponsor them a certain amount of money as a pledge for each kilometer they walk. The proceeds will be given to Help Pregnancy Center.

This walk will include a tour at the Cathedral, the Basilica and the Help Pregnancy Center. All are welcome to join in this event. Those participating are asked to bring a large bagged lunch, snack and a water bottle and sunscreen in a string backpack to carry with them. We ask for chaperones if participants are minors or to contact Sr. Jacinta and see if we have a few volunteers to assist with
this and have the necessary permission slips.

Forms available in the back of church.

Any young ladies in 7th – 12th grade are invited to join a prayer group called Rays of Hope. This group meets twice a month on the first and fourth Saturdays of the month, starting with morning Mass as 7:45AM. Following Mass, we pray the rosary, have breakfast, and have a discussion about how to follow in the footsteps of Mary more closely. Each meeting also includes an activity of assisting at the parish, for example doing an initial watering of the flowers for Christmas and Easter and reaching out to the community. We are always open to suggestions. We have taken on two charities at this time: Kids Food Basket and Help Pregnancy Aid. If you are interested you can just show up or if you have any questions please contact Sr. Jacinta Miryam at srjacintamiryam@shgr.org
