"Brothers and sisters: If there is any encouragement in Christ, any solace in love, any participation in the Spirit,
any compassion and mercy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, with the same love, united in heart,  thinking one thing. Do nothing out of selfishness or out of vainglory; rather, humbly regard others as more important than yourselves, each looking out not for his own interests, but also for those of others." — Philippians 2:1-4

Find Your Place in the Culture of Life

40 Days for Life Fall Campaign is Underway 🕊️

The Fall 40 Days for Life campaign begins Wednesday, September 23, and continues through Sunday, November 1. This is an opportunity for our parishes and communities to unite in prayer, peaceful witness and compassionate outreach on behalf of mothers, fathers and their unborn children.

We invite parish leaders and parishioners to prayerfully discern how God is calling them to participate this fall. Whether by committing to pray outside a local abortion facility, organizing your parish to adopt a prayer hour, hosting a Mass for the protection of life or supporting the campaign in other meaningful ways, every act of faith makes a difference.

If you have questions about participating in the Fall 40 Days for Life campaign, hosting a parish Mass or becoming more involved, please contact the Respect Life Office at life@ccdenver.org or Lisa at auroraco40daysforlife@gmail.com. 

Together, let us answer Christ's call to defend the dignity of every human life through prayer, witness and loving support.
