ALL PREGNANCY CENTERS NEED SUPPORT!

WALKATHONS HAVE THE POTENTIAL
TO RAISE
$$$$  MEGA BUCKS  $$$$

THEREFORE,
We should establish
two yearly walkathons
to support
our pregnancy centers
all over America
and around the world!

We are God's Family Of Life,
so let's call these events:
THE FAMILY OF LIFE
WALKATHON

THESE BIANNUAL WALKATHONS
CAN BE HELD IN THE SPRING,
AND IN THE FALL,
AND IN THE SUMMER TOO,
IF YOU LIKE
TRIANNUAL EVENTS.


Family of Life Walkathons
will help us to be
Good Shepherds to our little lambs!

LOCAL WORLD YOUTH DAYS
to be held every year,
in local parish and/or
High School auditoriums
and Gymnasiums,
and especially timed
to coincide with
The Vatican Sponsored
WORLD YOUTH DAYS
held every two years!

This year, World Youth Day
is held in August 2008
in Sydney, Australia.
There is plenty of time 
to schedule many local events
to coincide with 
the Vatican effort!

EWTN Television will broadcast
hours of coverage of WYD.
Television Screens could be
set up in auditoriums,
so that everyone could watch
WYD in Sydney, Australia,
while participating in their 
local Parish or High School!

WHEN WE PRAY, GOD WORKS!
"WITHOUT JESUS, WE CAN DO NOTHING."
(St. John 15: 5) 

ORGANIZING THESE EVENTS

WHERE
These Walkathons are to be held at local High School and College Athletic Fields which have an outdoor track.  This allows many local walkathons to take place in convenient locations
all over your State on the same day. 
Get permission from each school!

WHEN
SPRING, SUMMER OR FALL:
MAY and OCTOBER are excellent times,
but feel free to schedule this
to suit your local situation.
Saturdays or Sundays are best!

HELPFUL VOLUNTEERS
Ask for organizational help and participation from
The Knights Of Columbus
The Daughters Of Charity
The Holy Name Society
The Ladies Sodality
The Parish Youth Group
The Young Adult Group
The Boyscout Groups
The Girlscout Groups
The Parish Grade Schools
The Local High Schools
The Parent Teacher AssociationS
and other organizations
that are Pro-Life!

MILLIONS OF DOLLARS could be raised for the Pregnancy Centers, if this idea spreads across the country into every city and town!

And if some of the walkers were praying as they walked, they we could accomplish even more, because God would bless these events tremendously due to the prayers!

When we work, we work.
When we walk, we walk.
WHEN WE PRAY, GOD WORKS!

Now let us consider
a healthy related activity:
Weekly Walking Clubs
In Every Parish!

Every doctor in the world advises
every patient to get some type
of regular exercise,
and they always include some
WALKING
in their list of several
recommended exercise activities.

Since Jesus Christ walked everwhere,
and since all doctors recommend 
WALKING,
and since it is so HEALTHY
for everyone, YOUNG AND OLD, 
let us start a
WEEKLY WALKING CLUB
at each parish church!

Mothers can stroll with their babies!
Children can walk with family members
Children can walk with playmates!
Grandparents can walk with Friends!
Grandparents can walk with Family!
Parents can walk with their children!
And we can walk around the perimeter
of the local parish church grounds!
This will help to make each parish
A CENTER OF CATHOLIC FAMILY LIFE!
 We could also pray while we walked,
so that prayer-walking would add
The Element Of Holiness
to this family parish activity!
And it could take place
more than once a week!

Investigate and Initiate
WEEKLY WALKING CLUBS
in your local parish!
