INDIANAPOLIS. If there was a common thread running through the talks given during the National Eucharistic Congress July 17-21, it was that the massive gathering and the events leading up to it were meant to have a lasting impact on parishes and dioceses back home.

COLORADO SPRINGS. The Diocese of Colorado Springs Respect Life Apostolate and Project Rachel ministry will host the National Day of Remembrance for Aborted Children on Sept. 14 at Divine Redeemer Parish.

COLORADO SPRINGS. Lay people who feel called to a deeper life of prayer are invited to learn about the Lay Carmelites at one of their upcoming informational meetings.

COLORADO SPRINGS. The monthly Rosary Walk for Life will take place Sept. 24 after the 8:30 a.m. Mass at St. Francis of Assisi Parish in Colorado Springs. Instead of the usual rosary walk, participants will walk the outdoor Stations of the Cross.
