Burpee Rosaries & Brotherhood: Fit Shepherds with Colynn Black - 07/27/2026
What Is Fit Shepherds? Fit Shepherds is a men's morning group at Epiphany Parish in Mason City that meets once a week for about a 20-minute workout — circuits of push-ups, sit-ups, jogging, kettlebell swings, and the occasional pickup basketball or soccer game — followed by prayer and fellowship. Their signature tradition is the "Burpee Rosary": one burpee for every Hail Mary. The local group was started by Colynn Black and Matt Grimmer with support from Fr. Jake Dunn, drawing inspiration from the national Fit Shepherds movement active in parishes across the country.
