MADISON — Getting away for the weekend can often include a fun road trip, a new-to-you destination, and a lot of great memories, but for a local group, a recent weekend included something a bit atypical: Religious Sisters.
Last month, Fr. Greg Ihm, Diocese of Madison vocations director, led a group that included 10 St. Ambrose Academy students, a mother of one of the teens, and four other Madison-area women on a journey of prayer and discernment.

Students at Our Lady Queen of Peace School in Madison recently had a chance to better themselves and help others at the same time.

All are invited to come to the school parking lot at 12:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 28, to help cheer on students as they run or walk as many laps as they can in one hour around the Queen of Peace neighborhood to raise money for charities and the school.

Thank you for your prayers last week during my Grand Canyon run.
My journey started with a group of four men and two women ages 25 to 58. At 3:10 a.m. on October 26, we knew we had a long trail ahead of us. While it was daunting and emotions were mixed with fear and anticipation, we all commented about the beauty and light of the moon.
As an avid long-distance runner, this is by far my favorite time of the year to run.
On most early mornings, I can be found on the trails of the many parks around south central Wisconsin.
Through the years, I have had many opportunities to run in some unique and stunning landscapes around the world. For me, running is not just physical, but helps keep me grounded mentally and spiritually.
