This May, We’re Movin’ 4 Missions!
The School Sisters of St. Francis invite you to take part in Movin’ 4 Missions, our fifth annual step challenge!
Every step you take from May 1 through May 31 is a step forward in our sisters’ ministries of education, social justice, care of our retired sisters, and the greatest needs of our community.
Spring is here and everything is starting to bloom with bright colors and new life. It is a great time to walk by yourself, as a couple, with friends, or in a group.
Our step challenge is virtual, so once you sign up, you can count your steps anywhere you like. You can jog in your own neighborhood, run in a local park, make tracks on your treadmill, and count the steps you take at the office, in school, or around the house each day.
Registration is easy and when you sign up, you can choose to receive an official event shirt or hat that you can wear wherever your steps take you. Please note, if you ordered a t-shirt in 2024, we are using the same t-shirt design for this year, and you will not need to order a new shirt. Orders for T-shirts placed by April 15th will be delivered during the first week of May. For orders placed after April 15th, the T-shirts will arrive later in May.
Then, invite family and friends to step up and support you as a sponsor. Proceeds help our sisters spread the Gospel and care for people across the country and around the world.
Challenge yourself or form a team and have fun while you get Movin’ 4 Missions in support of our sisters!
