9:30am - Memorial Park in Colorado Springs
10:15am - Sante Fe Trail in Monument
Be a part of the 37th Annual Walk for Life! Support the life-affirming ministry of Life Network and the three pregnancy centers in El Paso County. Join the walk at Memorial Park in Colorado Springs or join us in Monument on the Santa Fe Trail. Pick up a fundraising/walker form in the gathering area to join the PARISH TEAM. Stop by the Walk for Life Table on May 18 & 19 after Mass for more info and to pledge support or donate to TEAM CAPTAIN Father Gregory's fundraising effort. No donation is too small! Help make a difference in the life of an expectant mom and her unborn child. Last year 324 babies were rescued and served by Life Network. When abortion-minded women see an ultrasound of their baby (always FREE at Life Network), 86% of the time they choose life! For more information, contact stephanierkemp@gmail.com.
