Our Mission
The Respect Life office champions Church teachings regarding the sanctity of all human life.
We educate and inspire youth and adults throughout Northern Colorado with age - appropriate presentations on life issues. We seek to transform our state into a place where every human being is valued and protected from the moment of their conception until natural death.
- We provide consultation to and collaboration with parishes, educational, and health institutions
- We train pastoral leaders on all life issues
- We serve as a resource and referral network for specific inquiries
- We introduce pro-life issues into catechetical forums for adults
- We serve as a resource network for those seeking information on specialized issues within the prolife spectrum
The Continuum of Care
"…the very right to life is being denied or trampled upon, especially at the more significant moments of existence: the moment of birth and the moment of death.”
~ St. John Paul II, Evangelium Vitae no. 18
