Peter O’Connor Half Marathon
My name is Peter O’Connor, and I am currently in my 5th year at Our Lady of Guadalupe Seminary.
Thank you for your help in the formation of future priests! I will be offering daily prayers for my benefactors and will be carrying your intentions with me as I train. Whether or not you are able to support financially, please do pray for me in my formation to the priesthood – and that I remain healthy during my training!
God bless you!
“Do you not know that in a race all the runners compete, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it.” 1 Cor. 9:24.
Dear Friends and Family of the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter,
Greetings from Our Lady of Guadalupe Seminary!
We write to you today in the hope that you will support us in raising funds for our continued priestly formation as we train for the Lincoln Half-Marathon and Marathon.
Over the last five years, we have seen a growing number of priests and seminarians at Our Lady of Guadalupe Seminary (OLGS) lace up for the nearby Lincoln Half-Marathon and Marathon. Ten men first toed the line five years ago; last year saw 17 men compete; now our numbers have jumped to 45 entrants this year – that means nearly half the seminary will be running! Our participation in this event serves not only as a means of maintaining an anima sana in corpore sano, but also stands as an important Catholic witness at the same time that it spotlights Our Lady of Guadalupe Seminary and the FSSP. Will you help us raise funds to showcase these worthy causes and defray the cost of the outstanding priestly formation we are blessed to receive?
WHO?
Priests and seminarians of the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter, a society of apostolic life established by Pope St. John Paul II, devoted to the sanctification of priests and the preservation of the beautiful liturgical patrimony of the Catholic Church.
