St Cecilia's LIFE Runners' THOMAS A HALTIGAN MEMORIAL PRO-LIFE 5K

Morris Plains, NJ
A faith-filled, family friendly gathering at Central Park of Morris Plains, NJ 07950, celebrating the gift of life and the protection of the unborn from the moment of conception until natural death. This fundraiser for the Saint John Paul II Respect Life Ministry based at St Cecilia's Catholic Parish, Rockaway, NJ, is hosted by St. Cecilia's LIFE Runners, an affiliate of the Ministry, and a chapter of the nationwide LIFE Runners organization. LIFE Runners is the world’s largest Pro-Life team. That's more than 25,000 LIFE Runners across 53 nations who run, jog, walk, and pray for an end to abortion through global relays and running events. Our Pro-Life 5K has become a wonderful gathering of generations, drawing young people and young adults from parishes and churches near and far—and participants from communities across the region. Alongside them are families, seasoned runners and walkers, older adults and supporters—all coming together in a spirited celebration of life. BISHOP KEVIN J SWEENEY Joining us again this year to lead the Opening Prayers and offer Remarks will be the Most Reverend Kevin J. Sweeney, D.D., Bishop, Diocese of Paterson, NJ. A steadfast and courageous advocate of the pro-life cause, Bishop Sweeney has made the defense and dignity of the most vulnerable among us a central part of his ministry and pastoral leadership. Since its inception in 2013, our group has organized this Pro-Life 5K in Morristown annually, with the exception of the COVID-19 pandemic shutdown and 2024. Until now, the 5K has been a non-timed, carefully supervised event through the streets of Morristown. With the dedicated support of St. Cecilia’s Parish in Rockaway—and the generosity of Assumption Parish in Morristown, which has provided its facilities since the very beginning—this race, jog and walk like no other takes an exciting next step this year as a professionally timed, cross-country event that’s competitive, fun-filled and welcoming to participants of all athletic and non-athletic abilities! HONORING A PRO-LIFE CHAMP Two years ago, the event was renamed in honor of the late THOMAS A HALTIGAN, one of the original chapter members, and a dedicated servant of St. Cecilia’s LIFE Runners. Funds raised are for the charitable and tireless work of the Saint John Paul II Respect Life Ministry at St Cecilia’s Parish, Rockaway, NJ. This Ministry has generously contributed material, practical, financial and spiritual support to single mothers coping with crisis pregnancies, and to non-profit shelters assisting single mothers. The support has specifically included shelter care, food, clothing, cash and assistance towards the general needs of moms and young babies. RACE DAY Registration Price $40 (Register before Race Day: $35) $35 (Register before Race Day: $32. Ages 0 - 18)

Cait's Walk, Run, Skip or Dance 5K

Haddon Township, NJ
Event Details: Join us Saturday, November 7th, 2026 for the 3rd annual Cait’s Walk, Run, Skip or Dance 5k to benefit the Infinite Love & Light Foundation! Participants can choose between a 5k run or a 1-mile walk. Feel free to skip or dance along the way, just as Cait would do! The 1-mile walk is pet friendly for all well-behaved pups. Before, during, and after the run/walk, please stop by our raffle basket tables to try and win some incredible prizes! All proceeds will go towards our fundraising goal. Snacks and light refreshments will also be provided. Registration will begin at 8:00am and the race/walk will start around 9:00am. Registration will be held inside the pavilion next to the Newton Lake Park Playground. All are welcome, and we look forward to seeing you there! The Foundation: The Infinite Love & Light Foundation is a non-profit created to carry on the legacy of the late Caitlin Catanella, who lost her battle with pancreatic cancer in December of 2021. Cait impacted so many with her positive energy, her "yes you can" motivational mindset, and endless desire to help others. Staying committed to Cait's core values, the Infinite Love & Light Foundation identifies local families that are currently battling cancer, and through our charity efforts, help to soften the financial burden they are experiencing and add some much needed love & light into an extremely difficult time. (501c3) This Year’s Recipient: This year, the Infinite Love and Light Foundation will be donating all proceeds raised to the O'Brien family. The O'Brien’s (Brian - Dad, Jean - Mom, Nolan – age 11, and Harry – age 8) are Cherry Hill residents and have established deep roots within the local community. They love their family time together, including anything related to soccer and traveling to various destinations, cherishing every memory they make along the way. In April of 2023, Jean and Brian noticed their son Nolan was experiencing ongoing GI issues, which were originally diagnosed as Celiac. When the symptoms did not subside, they sought further testing at CHOP to determine a more accurate diagnosis, and in late May 2023 received information that no parent is prepared to receive…Nolan had a tumor at the base of his brain known as ependymoma. Doctors were able to operate immediately and remove the tumor, with multiple rounds of radiation to follow. Due to the location of the tumor, Nolan’s speech, vision, and balance were affected. Still, with time and physical/occupational therapy, he was able to improve. For the foreseeable future, Nolan would receive routine scans and testing to monitor his condition. In October of 2025, after 2.5 years of clean scans, Nolan started experiencing new symptoms. Following testing, results showed that a brain tumor had returned to a different location, as well as tumors around the spine. When ependymoma returns and shows presence in the spine it becomes difficult to treat, but Nolan is a fighter. He has had surgery to remove as much of the tumor as possible, received chemo treatments, and is participating in a clinical trial with various medications used to attack cancer cells. Nolan is taking everything in stride and continues to impress all of those around him with his courage and strength. Nolan is currently ready to begin middle school as a 6th grader. He loves playing sports, including soccer, flag football, and kickball - just to name a few – in addition to playing Dungeons and Dragons and Roblox with his friends. Nolan is very outgoing, strong, and certainly resilient. Whatever Nolan is doing, he is thoughtful in his approach and always brings great energy and enthusiasm. Please help us support Nolan and the O’Brien family so they can focus on getting Nolan back to his energic, life-loving self. With your help, we hope to soften the financial burden for their family and bring some much needed love and light into their lives during this very difficult time.
