Respect Life Movie Night "Witness to Hope" - Saturday, October 16, 6pm
Shaped by the terrors of Nazi-occupied Poland and the subsequent brutality of the Soviet Communist regime, St. Pope John Paul II became the world's greatest proponent of religious liberty and human rights. Based on the international best-selling biography by George Weigel, "Witness to Hope," traces the personal life and struggles of one of the most beloved popes of the 20th century. JPII was the first non-Italian pope in 450 years and became the longest reigning pope in modern times. Historians will be measuring his impact on The Church and the culture for centuries. The 2005 documentary runs about 115 minutes and will be shown the PMC room #3. Join us on the 43rd anniversary of his election to the papacy, Saturday night, October 16, immediately following  5pm Mass.  

As a service project, each of our 1st through 8th grade students write to a senior parishioner. The purpose of this project is to encourage our students to communicate with and pray for people they may never meet; providing a lesson that in giving they receive so many blessings. Grandfriends are not required to write back, but our students are delighted when they do. If you are interested in being a grandfriend or know a senior who would enjoy receiving a monthly letter, please contact Robin Sheehan.

Volunteers are needed to sell E-bike raffle tickets after weekend Masses through the weekend of December 18 and 19. It's easy and only requires about 15 minutes of your time. Click here to sign up. Please contact Debby Dover for more information.

Did you know it’s possible for laypeople to belong to one of several of the Church’s orders? If you believe that you are particularly drawn to a life of prayer, it’s possible that you may have a vocation as a Third Order, or Lay, Carmelite. The Order of Carmel traces its roots back to the thirteenth century, when hermits living on Mount Carmel in the Holy Land followed the examples of the prophet Elijah and the Blessed Virgin Mary and dedicated their lives to prayer, community, and service.

To learn more, please come to one of Morning Star Lay Carmelite Community’s informational meetings, Wednesday, October 20, or Monday, November 8, from 7-8pm. We will meet in the St. Kateri Room at St. Gabriel Catholic Church, 8755 Scarborough Drive. We will explain who we are and what we do, expectations and requirements, and the formation process. If you have questions, please contact Sue Athey (719-265-6999). You can also visit the Lay Carmelites of Colorado website. Check us out!
