Since today is the feast of St. Clare, it's a fitting day to announce that my beloved wife Jocelyn is currently seeking donations to raise money for the Poor Clares of Perpetual Adoration in Black Canyon City, Arizona.
To this end, she is asking for pledges for a half marathon she's running on September 6.
Jocelyn has been motivated to get herself running and exercising after hearing about a Nun Run the Poor Clares had earlier this year, in which she and several friends participated as shadow runners in support of these wonderful sisters' efforts to build a new chapel at their Our Lady of Solitude Monastery. Currently they are raising money to help construct new stained glass windows for the chapel.
The Poor Clares have left the world in order to spend all their time with Our Lord, adoring Him, and praying for us and the Church. I would very much appreciate your support as Jocelyn trains for and runs this half marathon on their behalf on September 6.
The easiest way to make a donation is by clicking the PayPal button at the bottom of the sisters' home page.
You can also send a check payable to Our Lady of Solitude, Inc. to:
Our Lady of Solitude Monastery
P.O. Box 92
Black Canyon City, AZ 85324
Either way you choose to give, please indicate that your donation is a "Pledge for Jocelyn Jansen's half marathon".
Please keep Jocelyn in your prayers as she prepares for this race, that her efforts may be fruitful and be done for the greater glory of Our Lord.
