Joy! That is the main word that comes to mind as I look back on the 2024 Diocesan Youth Pilgrimage to Washington, D.C., for the National March for Life on Jan. 19.

Our group of 32 (19 youth, 13 chaperones) was enormously blessed by the entire experience. Thank you to every one of you who made this pilgrimage possible by your generous support of the Bishop’s Respect Life Fund whether through periodic donations or through your gifts at the Bishop’s Respect Life Roundup.

COLORADO SPRINGS. Bishop James Golka celebrated Mass on Jan. 30 at St. Mary’s Cathedral to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the establishment of Diocese of Colorado Springs in 1984.
