A DAY OF PRAYER AND PENANCE FOR LIFE:
Tuesday, January 22,2009
In all the dioceses of the United States of America, January 22 shall be observed as a particular day of penance for violations to the dignity of the human person committed through acts of abortion, and of prayer for the full restoration of the legal guarantee of the right to life.
ACTION ALERT!
Parishioners across the Archdiocese of Denver will have the opportunity to join Catholics across the country in sending a message to Congress:
"Please oppose the "Freedom of Choice Act" (FOCA) and retain laws against government funding and promotion of abortion." FOCA, the most radical and divisive pro-abortion bill ever introduced in Congress, would create a "fundamental right" to abortion that government could not limit but would have to support. FOCA would overturn many existing widely-supported policies, including laws protecting parental involvement and conscience rights and those preventing partial-birth abortion and taxpayer funding of abortion. Postcards to your U.S. Representative and two U.S. Senators will be available soon for your signature. Please plan to participate in this important event!
Saturday Night Anticipated Mass at Holy Family in Keenesburg will be at 5:00 PM instead of 5:30. Confessions will begin ˝ hour before Mass at 4:30 PM.
Holy Hour of Prayer each Monday from 6-7pm at Holy Family church. Bring your prayer intentions and your families as we pray for our community, our country and the upcoming election.
