14th Annual Run for Ryan

Saint Louis, MO
Please join us for Thanksgiving mass at 9:30am. The 3 mile run and 1 mile fun walk will begin immediately following mass around 10:30am. As always we will have a virtual registration option for those unable to participate in person. The Run for Ryan was formed to support parishioner, Ryan McDaniel and his family in their battle against cancer. The McDaniel Family, so grateful for the love & support they had received, created the Stay Strong Fund to help others who find themselves in a similar situation. Ryan’s legacy of kindness & generosity lives on in this fund.
