Two Old Priests on Bikes
Father Terry Anderson from St. Thomas More Parish, Brookings, and Father Mark Lichter from St. Wenceslaus Parish, Tabor, and St. John the Baptist Parish, Lesterville/Sigel, are gearing up again for their annual “Two Old Priests on Bikes” bicycling tour of the great state of South Dakota. The bike trek begins on Tuesday, September 8 and ends on Tuesday, September 15. The priests will be in their home parishes on the weekend between these dates and encouraging donations. The bicycling begins in Niobrara, Nebraska, and ends in Lake Benten, Minnesota, for a total of around 250 miles. The race always ends in a tie, but the big competition is on how many donations each priest can garner for their parishes. Fr. Terry and Fr. Mark have always had a fun time with the competition and it goes for a great cause. For Fr. Terry all donations will go for the Catholic School in Brookings, and for Fr. Mark all donations will go to the youth in the parishes (religious education, youth group, D-Camps, Life March, Steubenville trip, and all youth activities), and Broom Tree Retreat Center.
