8 Steps to Spiritual and Physical Fitness

Bishop Thomas John Paprocki

What if you could improve your physical health while deepening your spiritual life? In Running for a Higher Purpose, Most Rev. Thomas John Paprocki, Catholic bishop of Springfield-a marathon runner and hockey player-shares how the simple discipline of running can help you unlock profound spiritual benefits.
