“I started for Lent in 2007,” said the Rev. Patrick J. Miller, 46, who started going to a downtown gym five years ago when he worked at Christ Church Cathedral, 1117 Texas Ave.”Instead of giving something up, I took something on.

Miller, now the rector of St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, 3816 Bellaire Blvd., started his journey in boxing after seeing “Boxing Lessons” painted on the side of a two-story building.
