COLORADO SPRINGS. Catholic Schools Week will be observed Jan. 28 - Feb. 3. Following is a listing of the various activities planned by schools in the diocese for Catholic Schools Week 2024. 

In this article I would like to go over some of the facts about abortion in Colorado. I will discuss the types of abortion and their techniques as well as complications and psychosocial issues. Other articles will discuss the ethics of abortion.

Holy Days of Obligation in the coming weeks: 
• Christmas Day on Monday, Dec. 25, is a Holy Day of Obligation. The faithful must attend two Masses between Dec 23-25: one for the Sunday obligation and one for the Christmas obligation. For instance, the Sunday obligation may be fulfilled by attending the Saturday Vigil Mass or a Sunday morning Mass; the Christmas obligation may be fulfilled by attending a Mass after 4 p.m. on Christmas Eve or a Christmas Day Mass.
•The Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God on Jan. 1, 2024 is not a Holy Day of Obligation this year. (Decree of U.S. bishops, Dec. 13, 1991)
