Let's get moving this summer!

The ST. MICHAEL WAY, also called the "Ring of Kerry", will take you 200 km through the mystical Iveragh Peninsula in Ireland, highlighted by Skellig Michael, an ancient monastery built over the place where St. Michael is said to have appeared. This circular route has it all: scenic coastal landscapes, wildlife rivers, beautiful forests, small villages, old forts and peaceful monasteries.

Start date: SATURDAY, MAY 24. (If you complete 7 km per day, you should complete this challenge by June 1)


The ST. FRANCIS WAY will take you 503 km through an ancient Roman road from Florence to the Vatican, following in the footsteps of Saint Francis across the peaceful Italian countryside.

Start date: SUNDAY, JUNE 27. (If you complete 7 km per day, you should complete this challenge by September 8)


So what will this mean?

1) You will need to commit to completing 7 KM worth of physical activity everyday on your own time. Example are but not limited to jogging for 40 minutes, walking for an hour, or dancing for an hour and a half.

2. You will need a device to track your steps (Fitbit, Health App for iPhones, etc). The goal is to reach an average of 6 km worth of activity (walking, running, etc.) everyday.

2) You will need to download this app - https://www.theconqueror.events/camino?utm_source=web&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=mvmMissionPage. There is a minimum entry fee of $34.95 US (approx. $45 CDN). This will enable the app to track your steps and where you would be if you were walking the actual Camino, join our team and we can see where each other are, and get a medal at the end of it as proof of having completed the Camino.

I look forward to this digital pilgrimage with you. As the locals remind weary pilgrims on the way to Santiago would say  - E ultreia e suseia, Deus adjuva nos! (Keep going onward and upward for God will help us)

A fitting reminder for our times: Keep going onward and upward for “we are sure of better things ahead.” (Hebrews 6:9)
