General Announcements
‘SoulCore: Pray the Rosary with Body and Soul’ evening scheduled for April 29 at Fatima Retreat House
Deanne Miller and Colleen Scariano of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Parish in Carmel, Ind., in the Lafayette Diocese will discuss and then lead a session of SoulCore, their unique form of praying and reflecting on the mysteries of the rosary while performing isometric and core strengthening moves, at Fatima Retreat House, 5353 E. 56th St., in Indianapolis, from 7-9 p.m. on April 29.
According to their website, www.soulcoreproject.com, the workout is “oriented toward Jesus and his Blessed Mother” in its entirety “by meditating on the virtues connected to each mystery [of the rosary] in order to be slowly transformed into his image, while strengthening the body to be fit instruments to do his will.”
The workout involves basic stretches to warm up the body while reciting the Apostle’s Creed, push-ups for the Our Father’s, and a stretch for the Glory Be’s. The isometric, core-strengthening movements vary for each of the Hail Mary’s, and each mystery begins with rest while reflecting on a Scripture verse and the fruit of the virtue represented in the decade.
There is no specific fitness level required. Participants are encouraged to move at their own pace and to their own level of comfort.
It is recommended that participants wear loose, comfortable clothing, and bring a mat if possible.
A suggested donation of $15 is asked, but not required.
Register online by logging on to www.archindy.org/fatima/ or by contacting Marcia at 317-545-7681 ext. 18 or marcia.johnson@archindy.org.
