St. Patrick Youth Ministry Presents:
24 Hour
Fast-a-thon
During this Lenten Season, we as St. Pats Youth Ministry-- decided to fast from many things we take for granted. Before we enter into the last stretch of Lent, we'd like to "Get Hungry for CHANGE!" BY FASTING FROM FOOD FOR 24 HOURS.
Here is how it works. Just like a Walk-a-Thon, where participants get bids for each mile they may walk, our participants will get bids for each hour they don’t eat. The money raised will benefit the Catholic Relief Services. All participants will be provided water and Gatorade, their health will be monitored throughout the event, and they can quit at anytime.
To participate you must meet the following criteria:
· Be at least 14 years of age or older and in High School
· Have Permission from your doctor and parents
· Have a strong will, and a desire to help others
· Be willing to sleep outside, in the “box city”
· Receive pledges/donations to St. Pat’s/CRS and have a minimum of $24 in pledges
If you'd like to register, please read the letter and fill out all the paperwork, found HERE
