A Lenten ‘Walk with the Apostles’
Beginning on Ash Wednesday (March 2nd) and ending on Palm Sunday (April 10th), all members of Holy Apostles Parish are invited to join in a parish wide Lenten exercise intended to strengthen our bodies, minds and spirits.
                                                               
 

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.  Parishioners are invited to walk or participate in ANY physical exercise, and keep track of their mileage.  See the mileage key below for various activities and corresponding miles.  Parishioners can report their miles using the SignUp.com link on this webpage to log miles walked.  Log in every day at your convenience, and doing so at least once weekly is highly encouraged.  For those not using the internet, simply call the Parish Office to submit your miles.  Each week the miles will be tallied, and our progress as a parish ‘walking’ to Jerusalem will be marked on the map.  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!
