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

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 2nd. 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

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.
-Our realtor has sent the Advisory Board info. on some
other potential properties.
-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 soon. -We are continuing to look into other options for finding
much needed worship and gathering space for our
community.
-God’s Will be done!
