COLORADO SPRINGS. Following the loss of our baby, Bernadette Marie, to an early miscarriage in Spring 2021, my family and I have found ourselves frequently walking the sacred grounds of Mount St. Francis in Colorado Springs. The presence of a large Our Lady of Lourdes grotto, complete with a kneeling St. Bernadette statue, has been of great comfort to me as I have grieved and sought healing. 

COLORADO SPRINGS. In a little less than two months we will gather at the Broadmoor for the 11th Bishop’s Respect Life Dinner, featuring Deacon Rob Rysavy as the keynote speaker. If you haven’t yet bought your tickets or reserved your table, they’re selling like the proverbial hotcakes, so don’t wait too long. Last year’s dinner sold out nearly a month in advance. Tickets are $75 per person or $700 for a table of ten. To purchase tickets, visit https://secure.fundeasy.com/ministrysync/event/home.php?e=23585.

COLORADO SPRINGS. Exciting pro-life things are happening in our diocese — none of them related to the Supreme Court of the United States.

On June 4, the Catholics 4 Life Network team supported long-time partners and friends from Life Network at Memorial Park and around the diocese in the annual Walk for Life. As a team, Catholics 4 Life Network raised over $90,000 for Life Network. That made us the top fundraising team — an accolade we have earned for more than a few years.
