Blessing of the Sneakers before the Detroit Marathon, Oct. 15

Before running the 2022 Detroit Free Press Marathon, stop by Ss. Peter and Paul Jesuit Church for some spiritual nourishment at the fifth annual Blessing of the Sneakers!

A runner’s Mass will be offered Saturday, Oct. 15 at 5 p.m. prior to the run Sunday morning. All denominations are welcome to attend.

Join fellow runners, family and friends as we ask for endurance, patience, gratitude and a safe run for all.

Ss. Peter and Paul Church is located on East Jefferson Avenue, at the corner of St. Antoine Street in downtown Detroit. Free secure parking is available in the University of Detroit Mercy Law School Student parking lot just behind the church on Larned Street.
