11th Annual Rosary Run
Our eleventh annual Rosary Run motorcycle ride will be on Saturday, June 19, 2021 (always the day before Fathers Day). While this is our eleventh year, it’s actually our tenth ride (since we didn’t ride last year), so we figured we’d get back to our roots and visit some stops from our first year.
We’ll start at the Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help where you can attend 8:30am Mass if you’d like. We’ll meet in the parking lot after Mass for registration, instructions, the first decade, and we’ll be on our way. We’ll stop at three Catholic churches and then finish up on the campus of St. Norbert College, with an opportunity to visit the National Shrine of St. Joseph.
Note that the times listed below are only a guide for general planning purposes; it’s not unusual for us to be an hour or more off by the end of the day. As always, we’ll travel safely at God’s pace, and allow plenty of time for prayer and impromptu discussion at each stop.
