According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), physical fitness is defined as 'the ability to carry out daily tasks with vigor and alertness, without undue fatigue, and with ample energy to enjoy leisure-time pursuits and respond to emergencies.' Based on this definition, fitness involves everything from getting out of bed to hiking to performing CPR.
In order to complete all of these tasks, one must consistently address their fitness levels. This required proper conditioning through both structured exercise and leisurely activities. Research has shown that it is especially important to get all four types of exercise: Endurance, Strength, Balance, and Flexibility.
I am sure that most if not all of you are aware that SHJ offers Fit ' Balance Classes every Tuesday and Thursday. We now have available slots open from 10:00-11:00 a.m. and 1:00-2:00 p.m. Due to Covid-19 restrictions the maximum amount of people that can attend is 28 per class. We are taking every precaution to ensure that when attending the classes, everyone is in a safe enviorment.
If you are interested in attending, please either email or call me. Come and see what it is all about. Everything we do in the classes can be modified to suit your personal needs.
Looking forward to seeing you very soon.

- It is a way to attend and participate in Mass AND receive Holy Communion without leaving your car (or if you wish you can bring a chair and sit at a safe distance from others without wearing a mask).
- If you stay in your car, you can hear and hopefully see the Mass no matter where you are in the parking lot. Just leave your ignition on and tune to FM 88.1 (you don't have to have your car running and a good battery WILL NOT be affected).
- You can park in a way that is comfortable for you to get your car in and out. Parking attendants will help.
- When Fr. Bill or the E.M. comes to your window for Holy Communion, put your cupped hands close to the window or just outside the window.
- Bulletins are passed out as you enter the parking lot and attendants will accept your stewardship offering in a large basket.
- If you think you will need to run your motor for a/c or heat, please locate to one of the back parking spaces. The parking attendants will try to keep the rows of cars spaced out for safety reasons.
