Girls on the Run allows participants to grow their endurance, while also building confidence and friendships in the process. We are so thankful for the amazing coaches who volunteer their time, supporting this group of girls and helping them build skills that can be applied to running and life.

The May issue of Granger Living highlights Girls on the Run at St. Pius X, where local girls are building confidence, friendships, and emotional strength through a program that’s about much more than running.🏃‍♀️💗 Through the special bond between coach Jackie Bauters and her daughter Mo, the story reflects the heart of Mother’s Day—showing how being present and supportive can shape a young girl’s life in lasting ways. 🌸

"Like Archbishop Coakley, I too was disheartened by President Trump’s disparaging words about our Holy Father this past Sunday. Pope Leo XIV is a messenger of the Gospel and, as he himself said, “not a politician.” Of course, our Holy Father is called to be a herald of peace. He is the Vicar of Christ, the Prince of Peace. He has the responsibility as pastor of the universal Church and successor of Saint Peter to proclaim the Gospel, to defend human life and dignity, and to advocate for peace among peoples and nations. The Holy Father points us to our Lord’s teaching in the Sermon on the Mount, “Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called children of God” (Matthew 5:9). And he reminds us of our moral obligation to seek, promote, and pursue peace and to avoid war. This is indeed a matter of morality about which the Church’s voice needs to be heard.

Last week, the Holy Father noted that “rejecting the logic of war may lead to misunderstanding and scorn.” He also explained that the Church “proclaims the Gospel of peace and instills obedience to God rather than any human authority, especially when the inherent dignity of other human beings is threatened by continuous violations of international law.” I am grateful that Pope Leo XIV continues to courageously proclaim the Gospel of peace, even when criticized or ridiculed. Let us pray for our Holy Father, our government leaders, and other leaders of nations. Let us continue to pray for peace in the Middle East and other troubled areas of the world."

"On this Good Friday, when grief feels heavy and the world seems dark, remind us that death does not have the final word. Walk with us through sorrow and silence and gently prepare our hearts for the joy of Easter."
