From the Organizer
Pray. Run. Support Vocations.
Join St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church for our 2026 5K Run/Walk for Vocations on Saturday, September 19, 2026 at Villago Park in Casa Grande, Arizona.
This special Vocations event is a time to celebrate, pray, and listen for the call God places on each of our lives. Whether God is calling you to the Priesthood, Consecrated Religious Life, Marriage, or Consecrated Single Life. We come together in prayer, fellowship, and movement to encourage one another and to inspire future generations to hear and courageously respond to God’s unique call.
Following the devastating arson fire that destroyed our church building on October 18, 2024, our parish continues the journey of rebuilding not only a church structure, but a spiritual home where future vocations can be nurtured, formed, and strengthened for generations to come.
Proceeds from this event will support the construction of our new church — a place where faith will grow, families will gather, and future vocations will be inspired and formed.
Whether you run, walk, volunteer, sponsor, or cheer others on, your participation helps build the future of our parish and supports the mission of encouraging vocations within the Church.
Race begins at 7:00 AM.
Proceeds will benefit vocations efforts and the St. Anthony of Padua Church Restoration Fund.
