As I have learned from the life of Sr. Clare of the Trinity and of the Heart of Mary, we must give ourselves totally & completely to the Lord. She lived with that complete self giving that St. Francis did so she is a fitting patron for my team and all donors. Donating or walking in this walk-a-thon for the poor will workout those self-giving virtue muscles within us and help us grow. May the Lord grant us the graces we need to be instruments in His hands and spread love to all, especially the "least among us" who so need our help. May He grant us graces to give with His generosity and walk with His strength. 

In the words of St Francis, "Hold back nothing of yourselves for yourselves, so that He who gives Himself totally to you may recieve you totally!"

Walk will be held June 15 9:00 am at Archbishop Stepinac High School & donations will be used to help aid the undeserved in the Hudson Valley and Appalachia.
