ROSES for LIFE - October 15 & 16
This is our 38th year to participate in Pikes Peak Citizens for Life Roses for Life Project, the oldest, all-volunteer, pro-life organization in the Pikes Peak Community. PPCFL focuses its life-affirming work on public education and legislation. The red rose is the international symbol of Life, representing the blood of innocents shed since the Roe v. Wade decision. We will have 1,000 roses available for all Masses that weekend. Though Roe has fallen, Colorado sanctions unlimited abortion for any reason and at any time during the nine months of pregnancy. We have become an abortion destination in the west. The battle for Life continues. Your generosity can help PPCFL continue sharing the truth in defense of mothers and babies. Thank you for your support!
