I hope you guys are well! … Life Forward in Loveland is now up and fully running and some exciting things are happening there… given your large role in making this happen, I wanted to send you links to a great 7-minute video presentation of the new Loveland facility in action. It’s a great video. I’ll also include a video of the entire event, should anyone be interested in seeing even more. Thank you all again for your extraordinary gift – it is already helping people and is going to have an extraordinary impact.

PGK Tom Hahn reported that there was a good turnout for this year’s Mini-March for Life. The March began at Holy Name Church and processed to the Planned Parenthood facility on Auburn Ave. Despite the cold, the snow, the ice, and a pandemic, many gathered to pray for an end to abortion and pray for mothers, fathers, and their children. Vivat Jesus!
