The Sainthood Project Challenge

It consists in simply this:

Make the choice to live like a Saint for six weeks. 42 days, or 42 weeks. To journal a little bit (four sentence summary of each day) what happens to you every day, the amount of time you pray, what you struggle with, and what is changing for you as far as priorities. To see what will happen when we choose sainthood.

You don't have to be perfect. I would prefer if you were not.

You don't have to end up perfect at the end. This is simply a challenge to start down the road.

You don't have to be Catholic, or holy, or even believe that you can do it. It starts with one day.

If an entire parish, youth group, school, or organization wants to take the challenge, that would be incredible.

Please let me know by email if you would like to participate so that we can discuss the details.
