A few months back I wrote about Alicia Torres, the would-be Franciscan nun who has taken up running to help retire her student loans. Well, her story and others like it has inspired the Run for Nuns — a team of 10 seminarians, deacons, and priests from the Diocese of Pittsburgh who are running the Pittsburgh Marathon to raise funds for Alicia and three other young women so that they can be debt-free before entering the religious life.
What a fantastic cause! This sounds like a very worthy beneficiary of some Lenten almsgiving!
