About this Event

We're back with another Faith + Fitness program!

The Faith and Fitness program is a new initiative at the Office of Catholic Youth created by Fr. Paul Magyar. This program integrates physical exercise with spiritual practices, such as Scripture and Tradition study, to promote holistic well-being. Recognizing the body as a temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20), this approach emphasizes that physical health is an essential component of spiritual growth, reflecting the choices we make in daily life. Inspired by the teachings of Pope Benedict XVI in Deus Caritas Est, which highlights the interconnectedness of spiritual and physical dimensions of love, and the example of St. John Paul II, who championed the dignity of the human body and the importance of fitness. Through disciplined and prayerful fitness routines and excursions, participants are invited to cultivate a balanced life that reflects the unity of body and soul, deepening their understanding of the Catholic faith while glorifying God in all aspects of their being.
