All-new event in Corpus Christi! A nonprofit Catholic youth retreat facility invites riders on a beautiful 40-mile ride, followed by pancakes.
CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Watch out, Corpus Christi! There’s a new event riding into town. The first-ever nun run.
Registration for the event will take place on Saturday, November 8, at 8:00 a.m., and the ride will start at 9:15 a.m. A 41-mile ride from the Convent of the Incarnate Word & Blessed Sacrament on Lips Boulevard to The Spirit Center located outside of Bluntzer, Texas.
But wait, there’s more. All riders will be treated to a pancake breakfast at the end of the ride.
SpiritCenter Bluntzer is a nonprofit Catholic youth retreat facility ministry outside of Robstown, offering 60 beautiful acres to disconnect with the world & reconnect with God.
Director for SpiritCenter Amy Clark said, “We were looking for a creative way to raise awareness for the SpiritCenter, but also some funding for our upcoming programs and operations. We piggybacked off of an event that some sisters have in Houston, and we wanted to do something joyful and bring fun into the community.”
All profits support its nonprofit youth retreat center ministry, making a difference in the lives of families throughout the Coastal Bend.
Sister Anette said, “This is a ministry of the Incarnate Word Sisters, we are probably better known for the school that we have in town, that’s been here for 150 years. We recognize that there are other ways to help form fully alive people. Education is one way, but the focus in education is bringing fullness to life to each individual.”
Clark invites the community to visit the facility to learn about and see the ways they make a difference in young people’s lives.
