CROP Walk Video

Video by Nina Nicholson



In this video of Susan Mangasarian's CROP Walk, Susan is talking to another parishioner about her grandson who is being deployed to Afghanistan after serving in Iraq. At the end you'll hear Susan say, "I'm going to have to stop." But don't be worried, she was fine, and after riding and resting in the wheelchair for just one block, she got up and walked another block for the benefit of the Star-Ledger photographer. And, her total distance this year surpassed her distance of the previous two years! Way to go, Susan!

Jane & Lydia's Pilgrimage in Spain

Photos by Jane Cates


Jane and Lydia spent a week in May 2008 walking El Camino de Santiago ("The Way of St. James"), a 110 kilometer, week-long pilgrimage from Sarria to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia in northwestern Spain, where legend has it that the remains of the apostle Saint James the Great are buried. El Camino de Santiago has existed for over a thousand years, and was one of the most important Christian pilgrimages during medieval times.
