This weekend, our pastor, Father Jason Hage, will be running in his first full marathon the Great New York State Marathon in Syracuse, New York! Father Hage is dedicating every mile of this 26.2-mile race to the cause of priestly vocations in the Diocese of Syracuse. As the Director of the Office of Vocation Promotion, Father Hage works tirelessly to encourage and accompany young men discerning God’s call to the priesthood.

Through this marathon effort affectionately nicknamed “The Great NYS Run for Vocations!” he hopes to raise awareness and support for the St. Thomas Aquinas Fund, which provides for the education and formation of our future priests. Please keep Father Hage in your prayers this weekend as he runs the Great New York State Marathon for this important cause. Let’s join him in praying for more young men to courageously answer the call to serve Christ and His Church as priests.

Let’s cheer on Father Hage as he runs the race for vocations and the future of our Church!
