CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Some local sisters are taking their faith beyond the convent this weekend and doing it in a way that might surprise you.
You might have seen motorcycle clubs before but not like this. The sisters of the Incarnate Word Convent in Corpus Christi are gearing up for the first-ever Nun Run, a 41-mile ride to support the Spirit Center, a nonprofit Catholic youth retreat outside of Bluntzer.
Within the walls of the Incarnate Word Convent, things usually move at a gentle pace. But this weekend, these sisters are shifting gears. Life for them is revving up as Sister Annette Wagner prepares to get on a motorcycle for the first time in years.
“Yes, but too long ago to remember what it’s like. So this will be a new adventure for me!”
It’s a new adventure with some unlikely new friends, all working together to make some noise for a good cause.
For Ernesto Mendez with Knights on Bikes, this is also a first.
