Sign up to be a Barnabus Buddy who commits to pray from home or in Adoration for protection for those who witness in person. The demonic power engulfing the child killing center can be palpable. Prayer, especially the Rosary, is our most powerful weapon in the spiritual battle on the sidewalk. September 29 Former Abortionist to speak in Colorado Springs 12noon Dr. Haywood Robinson, former abortionist, is coming to the PP sidewalk to pray and speak about his conversion to pro-life. Don't miss the opportunity to hear his powerful testimony on the Centennial sidewalk outside Planned Parenthood (3480 Centennial Blvd). As always, park in the King Soopers lot (Fillmore and Centennial ) away from the businesses and walk north on the sidewalk to the corner where we witness for life. October 2 Tri-Lakes Life Prayer Chain 1:30-3pm The 12th annual Tri-Lakes Life Prayer Chain will be along a two-mile stretch of Highway 105 connecting the communities of Palmer Lake, Monument and Woodmoor. The surrounding areas of Northern El Paso County and southern Douglas County are also invited to participate. The Life Prayer Chain confronts injustice unsurpassed in world history. With an indifference we do not easily comprehend, since 1972 we have allowed, as a nation, the legal and institutionalized slaughter of our sons and daughters by the tens of millions. Despite the fall of Roe v. Wade in June, the killing continues unabated in Colorado. Participants will stand 10 feet apart along the Life Chain route quietly praying in this ecumenical event for America's conversion of heart to a culture of life. Originally begun in 1987 by Baptist minister, Royce Dunn, over 1500 communities will be participating in National Life Chain Sunday in America and Canada. Official Life Chain signs will be available at 1pm at the Safeway Parking Lot (624 Highway 105) or at the Park and Ride (corner of Woodmoor Drive and Highway 105.) There will be a collection of disposable diapers for Life Network/Colorado Springs Pregnancy Center. Donations can be dropped off at the two Life Chain sign pick-up points.

The Truth About RU486
LiveAction has documented the highly politicized and anti-scientific nature of the Federal Drug Administration approval process for the chemical abortion pill- RU486. FDA approval has been used to hide the adverse and deadly effects of the combined drugs (Mifepristone and Misoprostol) from vulnerable mothers seeking a quick medical abortion. Currently there is an effort underway to make the abortion pill available over the counter. Read this highly-documented article and click here to watch the two short videos.
Heart of My Heart
Miscarriage and Infant Loss Support Ministry There are Miscarriage Delivery Aid kits available at our parish office (and throughout the diocese) for mothers and fathers who know in advance to expect a miscarriage. New Heart of My Heart ministry cards with website info will be available at the parish welcome center. These beautiful cards feature an angel holding a sleeping infant. If you know someone who could benefit from this most compassionate ministry at this very difficult time in their pregnancy, please pass the word along. For more information, click here.
