COLORADO SPRINGS. The college student discount was too sweet to pass up — five lessons for five bucks. So, tucked between his studies at California’s Thomas Aquinas College (TAC) in 1976, Leo Raab learned ballroom dances. 

My resolution from the congress is to take that Eucharistic (thankful) message out to the whole United States and world, beginning in Colorado Springs, following three steps given to me through the insight of the Holy Spirit:

COLORADO SPRINGS. The Saint Serra Apostolate’s annual Priesthood Appreciation Contest is accepting submissions from kids in grades preschool-12 until Oct. 25.

COLORADO SPRINGS. St. Monica Ministry, which seeks to imitate St. Monica’s steadfastness in guiding loved ones to the Catholic Church, will begin meeting one the first and third Thursdays from 9:30-10:30 a.m. at St. Francis of Assisi Parish in Colorado Springs starting Nov. 7.

CASTLE ROCK. Betty Odello, a retired professor of nursing and president of the Scholl Institute of Bioethics, will give a talk titled “Care and Prepare” on end of life issues Oct. 24 at 9 a.m. in the parish hall at St. Francis of Assisi Parish in Castle Rock. Topics to be covered include advanced directives, living wills, hospice, palliative care and more. For more information, call 818-620-0102. 

October is Respect Life month, and it is a reminder that we are called to respect all human life from the moment of conception to natural death. 

Octubre es el “Mes del Respeto a la Vida”, y es un recordatorio de que estamos llamados a respetar toda la vida humana desde el momento de la concepción hasta la muerte natural.
