40 Days for Life
TAKE A STAND FOR LIFE
From September 24 – November 2, our Denver Catholic community will take part in 40
Days for Life … a groundbreaking, coordinated international mobilization. We pray
that, with God’s help, this will mark the beginning of the end of abortion in our city —
and beyond. Please go to http://40daysforlife.com/local-campaigns/denver/ for more
information!

Baby Supply Drive for Gabriel House
From Brittany Balke:
October is Respect Life Month, and in honor of that, we're hosting our second annual
drive for baby supplies that will be donated to Gabriel House in Denver. Last year’s
drive was extremely successful, thank you for your generosity! Let’s do it again!
“The Gabriel House is an outreach program of the Archdiocese of Denver committed to
helping pregnant women and women with young children in need with resources,
clothes, supplies, and spiritual and emotional support.” (More information available at
GabrielHouseDenver.org) The supplies we donate to Gabriel House can help ease the
financial burden that might otherwise seem so immense to a parent as to encourage them
to choose abortion. Acceptable donations include new or gently used clothes, toys,
bottles and blankets as well as new diapers, baby food, formula, strollers, Please place
any donations in the labeled boxes at the entrance of the church after Divine Liturgy on
the Sundays of October 26th and November 22nd. Two more volunteers who can help
put the donation boxes in the closet after the Sunday socials would be greatly
appreciated. If you have questions or would like to help put boxes away, please contact
Brittany Balke via email at BrittanyFeiten@gmail.com and include "Gabriel House" in
the subject line. Thank you!

From Alternatives Pregnancy Center
Please pray for a pregnant client who is feeling pressure from the father of the baby to
choose abortion. Pray that he would experience a change of heart and choose to come
alongside her during this time.

Parish Growth Update
Please continue praying for the future of our beautiful
parish! Continuing to consider all available options for
providing space for our growing community: -We are awaiting specifics about the possibility of
rebuilding on our present location. We have been in
contact with an architect.
-We are considering the possibility of having multiple
communities throughout the Denver Metropolitan area.
Parishioners who live a distance from Holy Protection are
invited to work with other parishioners in their area to
discern the possibility of opening an Outreach. Fr. Michael
will have specifics about this project when he returns on
the 28th. -We are continuing to look into other options for finding
much needed worship and gathering space for our
community.
-God’s Will be done!

“A Few Good Men” Needed
Home Depot has given us a date of Oct. 23 to install the new carpeting in the choir loft, office and
children's room. We are in need of "a few good men" to assist in moving furniture prior to the installation,
so those rooms will be ready for the installers. If you can stay after Divine Liturgy on Oct. 19 and help,
please let Mark Soutor (mvsoutor@comcast.net, 720-375-5000) know. Thanks in advance!
