Parental Rights Petitions UPDATE
Protect Kids Colorado (PKC) recently turned in 508,000 total signatures to the Secretary of State's (SOS) office for the three parental rights initiatives we participated in last fall. 173,000 were collected for sex-trafficking penalties; 170,000 for protecting girls sports; and 163,000 addressing transgender surgeries. The SOS office has 30 days to validate all the signatures. PKC is confident the three initiatives will be on the ballot in November as 125,000 signatures are needed for each one. 75% of all signatures statewide came from Catholic parishes. Thank you to all the St. Peter parish volunteers who collected signatures and all the parishioners who signed petitions. Watch for more information in the months to come. In the meantime, please pray the "Litany of Sorrows for Colorado." |

Our St. Peter School staff and students (along with parish office staff) were superheroes on Wednesday, March 6, wearing their new "REMEMBER The Unborn" t-shirts. SPCS is the first school in the diocese to start a Life Runners School Chapter. They will join other team members around the world wearing "REMEMBER The Unborn" shirts as a life-saving witness on the 1st Wednesday of every month.
WHY LIFE RUNNERS? 78% of post-abortion mothers said if they had encountered ONE supportive person or encouraging message, they would have chosen life. 23,400+ teammates in 3,500+ cities across 47 nations, deliver millions of life-saving messages with “REMEMBER The Unborn” jerseys and jackets. Running is optional. 10,000+ students (K to college) wear jerseys at school to be heroically pro-life, preventing abortions and changing our culture. Post-abortion parents also wear this redemptive message for healing. With access to the abortion pill in the mail and across state lines, Life Runners present life-saving messages everywhere. If you want to join our school students and staff in their simple pro-life witness, visit https://www.liferunners.org/help/ to order a blue "REMEMBER the Unborn" jersey and wear it on the first Wednesday of each month.

October 2, 2022 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.
