St. Louis, Mo., Nov 10, 2012 \/ 10:11 am (CNA<\/a>).- Bishop Thomas John Paprocki finished the St. Louis Rock-N-Roll Marathon on Oct. 21 in four hours, 22 minutes and 53 seconds. It was his 19th marathon.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cI placed 743 out of 1,749 overall \u2026 and was 508 out of 931 in the men's division,\u201d said Bishop Paprocki in an email to employees at the Catholic Pastoral Center and Catholic Charities in Springfield. Additionally, he finished fifth out of 25 in his age division.<\/p>\n

\tBishop Paprocki ran with the LIFE Runners, the only pro-life marathon team in the nation.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cWe had the largest team registered for the St. Louis Rock-N-Roll half\/full marathon,\u201d said Air Force Lt. Col. Pat Castle, one of the co-founders of the LIFE Runners. He said that 245 LIFE Runners from 24 states geared up for the race. Another 245 LIFE Runners did other races across the country.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cOur 2012 team is up to 490 runners\/walkers, ages 5 to 73, in 36 states and three foreign countries,\u201d Castle said. \u201cWe raised over $52,000 for our beneficiaries.\u201d LIFE Runner money was designated to St. Louis ThriVe baby bus, St. Louis Good Shepherd (which provides post-baby family support), and Sioux Falls Alpha Center baby bus.<\/p>\n

\tIn the marathon, Bishop Paprocki wore a LIFE Runners T-shirt and bib number 4165.<\/p>\n

\tAs the chaplain for the National LIFE Runners Team, he concelebrated Mass for the LIFE Runners and their families and friends at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis and prayed the blessing before the race. He was also presented with the 2011 LIFE Runner of the Year Award.<\/p>\n

\tLike all the LIFE Runners, he helped donate to the designated charities, but also raised money to be used locally for diocesan seminarians.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cTo date, $10,000 has been donated in support of my marathon run for vocations to help pay for the education and formation of our seminarians,\u201d Bishop Paprocki said. \u201cI am grateful for the generous support for the training of the future priests of our diocese.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tBishop Paprocki is already looking forward to his 20th marathon. He is planning to run the Crazy Horse Marathon in Hill City, S.D., on Oct. 6, 2013. Running with the LIFE Runners he will support pro-life causes but hopes to also once again support seminarians and says he would welcome seminarians and priests from the diocese who would run with him.<\/p>\n
