Marathon cheering section includes auxiliary bishop
Franciscans of the Eucharist of Chicago, members of the Capuchin Franciscan community and laypeople cheer on Team OLA as Auxiliary Bishop Robert “Bob” Lombardo, a Franciscan Friar of the Renewal, blesses runners racing by during the Bank of America Chicago Marathon on Oct. 9, 2021. Team OLA had 100 runners registered this year with a goal of raising $250,000 to support the charitable outreach of the Mission of Our Lady of the Angels in West Humboldt Park. The team has raised over $1 million since its inception. (Karen Callaway/Chicago Catholic)
