On Saturday, November 1, we’ll continue our beloved St. Francis tradition of blessing all NYC Marathon runners and their families!
Join us at the 4:00 PM Vigil Mass, where we will honor these incredible athletes and offer a special blessing for strength, safety, and joy on race day. To accommodate the wide variety of runner and family schedules, we’ll also celebrate an additional Vigil Mass at 5:15 PM.
We invite the entire community: runners, visitors, neighbors, and friends—to come together in prayerful support. Let’s fill the church with the same energy and spirit that fills the streets of New York on Marathon Sunday. Spread the word and bring your cheer!
