Weekly Announcements

Did you know that boys are the fastest growing segment of human trafficking victims? As tragic as that is, there is good news: the board of Sarah's Home (a local safe home for teen girls rescued from trafficking) has launched an initiative to build a new home for teen boys rescued from sex-trafficking. When it opens it will be the ONLY home for teen boy survivors in the entire US. The land and basic structures have been acquired, but an additional $150,000 is needed to complete building and renovations. Feeling called to make a donation? Go to https://sarahshome.us/donate/. If you work for a company that does matching gifts, that can be a great way to double the impact. Another option is to seek a corporate grant. Many large employers have budgets set aside for community grants. If you are interested in exploring this option and need help navigating the paperwork, please contact Mary Wyman (mary.wyman@att.net) for assistance. Want to learn more? Join us in the PMC on May 22. We pray for victims and survivors of human trafficking and plan events to support local anti-trafficking organizations.

This event is for all individuals, families and pets! Join us for this day dedicated to fathers and their families at Fox Run Regional park. When arriving for the event, please go to pavilions #1 and #3. There will also be plenty of games for the kids and families who do not wish to walk/run or to do during or after the run/walk. A potluck is scheduled from 11:30am to 1:30pm. All proceeds go to father-son and father-daughter events provided by INFERNO Men - A Catholic Christian ministry to men and their families in the Diocese of Colorado Springs. For more information and to register, click here.

God gave His Spirit to His Church. Our parish is another incarnation of the Church. Please support our Diocesan Ministry Appeal, so souls may encounter Christ’s Spirit more deeply here, in Christ’s body! May God reward you and bless you.

Do you know someone who would make a great priest? Have you been discerning the priesthood? Have you even given the priesthood just the slightest thought? The Diocese of Colorado Springs is hosting a retreat for single men between the ages of 16 - 40 at the St. John Henry Newman Center at 4785 Stanton Rd., near UCCS. There will be three speakers who will share their own personal journey regarding the priesthood followed by Adoration and the Rosary; Confessions will also be available. Discerners and parents are invited to the BBQ which begins at 5pm, also at the Newman Center. Registration begins at 1:30pm. RSVP to Mike at mlehnertz@icloud.com by Saturday, May 25.
