Reverend Runner

Fr. Alan Zobler, OSFS, was recently featured in the Diocese of Toledo's Graceful Living magazine. In the "Reverend Runner," Fr. Alan shares his experience as an Oblate priest running marathons, the power of perseverance that strengthened him both physically and spiritually to qualify and run the Boston Marathon in 2023, and how running has brought him closer to the Lord.

"The connection to the spiritual life is clear to Fr. Alan. ‘I often think in a race, all of the people along the way cheering, encouraging, offering high fives, are reflections of the great communion of saints who are cheering us on in the spiritual life.’”
