NORTHFIELD, Minn. The Equipped for Life Course from the Equal Rights Institute completely revolutionized the way that my college pro-life group (Students for Life at St. Olaf) operates and enabled us to make a dramatic impact on our campus.

COLORADO SPRINGS. Among the many events that have been canceled or modified this year due to C0VID-19 restrictions, the annual Rocky Mountain March for Life that usually occurs in January in recognition of the anniversary of Roe v.

The new Pregnancy Center will have a eucharistic adoration chapel upstairs!”

We rejoiced at this news from Father Bill Carmody many years ago.

Some of us have fond memories praying before the Blessed Sacrament in the attic of the Old Colorado City Pregnancy Center. Sure, it was freezing cold in the winter and extremely hot in the summer. In fact, sometimes it was so hot, sweat would drip down the face of the adorer who was there. However, even in those extreme conditions, we were so incredibly blessed to be with Our Lord, asking him to save lives and to stop the abortions that were happening right across the street at Planned Parenthood on Colorado Avenue.

COLORADO SPRINGS. A Project Rachel Small Group Post-Abortive Healing Program will take place this fall. Men and women who are experiencing the effects of a past abortion are invited to attend.

DENVER. On Nov. 3, Colorado residents will have the opportunity to save the lives of thousands of unborn babies by voting “Yes” on Proposition 115, previously known as Initiative 120, which would prohibit abortions after 22 weeks of pregnancy. Colorado is one of seven states in the country that allows abortion for any reason until birth. Late-term abortion is an extreme and inhumane procedure, and Colorado’s bishops have asked all Catholics in the state to support Proposition 115.
