Purpose
The 2013 I Will Finish Strong 5K and Fun Walk will promote both physical and spiritual wellness, taking place at the end of the Year of Faith! Proceeds will benefit the non-profit Catholic evangelization ministry of The Pilgrim Center of Hope in San Antonio.
The Year of Faith
The Year of Faith is a "summons to an authentic and renewed conversion to the Lord, the One Savior of the world" (Porta fidei 6). The Year of Faith was declared by Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI in October 2012 and will end on November 24, 2013. This Year is a time set apart for Christians to enter into a deeper relationship with Jesus - to turn toward Jesus, having a deeper conversion. Pope Benedict XVI has described this conversion as opening the "door of faith" (see Acts 14:27). The "door of faith" is opened at one's baptism, but during this year we are called to open it again, walk through it and rediscover and renew their relationship with Christ and his Church.
