CHICAGO, Ill., Sept. 19, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Long-time Saint Robert Bellarmine parishioner and Jefferson Park resident, Jim Ryan, will cycle more than 500 miles in the Camino de Santiago journey to honor and raise funds for the vibrant Saint Robert Bellarmine parish and school community. At 70 years of age, Jim will embark on this historical pilgrimage to the Camino de Santiago in Spain (also known as The Way of St. James) from Sept. 21 – Oct. 15, 2015. He is naming his ride the San Roberto Belarmino journey.
“It has been a long time dream of mine to be a part of this journey and honor all of the people, past and present of Saint Robert’s, who make it such a vibrant parish and excellent school,” Ryan said. “As a parishioner for the past 44 years, and a Chicago resident, I wanted to do something that makes a difference and inspires others.”
“We are delighted that Jim is dedicating his 500-mile San Roberto Belarmino journey in honor of our amazing parish community,” said Father Neil Fackler. “We plan to host a Jim Ryan Bike Dedication at our 5 p.m. mass on Saturday, September 19, 2015. We encourage the community to come out and join us in support of his mission.”
“The students and faculty of Saint Robert Bellarmine are inspired and delighted to support Mr. Ryan as he embarks on this historical journey,” said Mrs. Carrie Mijal, Principal. “Our school family plans to pray for and follow him as he treks across Spain. This is a wonderful way to showcase a global and spiritual experience in our classrooms.”
