The office deals with a wide range of life issues, such as abortion, euthanasia, sexuality, infertility procedures and the death penalty. We recently started an e-mail network through which we send out timely information on pro-life issues and concerns. If you would like to become a part of our e-mail group and receive this type of information, please contact us at 303 715-3243, 303 715-3205; fax us at 303 715-2040; write us at Respect Life Office, Archdiocese of Denver, 1300 S. Steele St., Denver, CO 80210; or e-mail us at resplife@archden.org. Below is a list of projects sponsored by the Respect Life Office. If you are interested in participating in or volunteering for any of these projects, please contact us at 303 715-3243 or 303 715-3205, write us at Respect Life Office, Archdiocese of Denver, 1300 S. Steele St., Denver, CO 80210, or email us at resplife@archden.org. Many people, women and men alike, suffer trauma following involvement in an abortion. It can manifest itself in many ways, including guilt, anxiety, depression, anniversary reactions and broken relationships. Project Rachel, a program developed by the Catholic Church, can help you find peace. Project Rachel is founded on the premise that post-abortive parents have a right to grieve the loss of their child and work through their feelings of regret and guilt. We have priests and pastoral ministers who do understand the torment you have been experiencing. They are here to listen to you and to help you. Project Rachel reinforces the Catholic Church's teachings on forgiveness and helps post-abortive parents return to full communion with Christ and His Church. For more information on Project Rachel, call 1-800-713-3021 or write us at the address noted above, Attn: Project Rachel. Confidentially respected.
If you know of anyone who might benefit from participating in the Gabriel Project, please contact Mimi Eckstein at 303 715-3205 or 1-800-713-3021. The purpose of Intercessors for Life (IFL) is to heed our Savior's admonition that certain evils can be expelled only by prayer and fasting. IFL will create a constant network of prayer and fasting to inspire and sustain all efforts to restore a"culture of life" and to hear anyone affected by these attacks. IFL simply asks you to make a commitment each week to pray and fast that the "culture of death" be expelled from our culture. We ask that you include in your prayers the Respect Life work of the Archdiocese of Denver. In particular, Project Rachel, the post-abortion ministry, and the Gabriel Project, a ministry that supports pregnant mothers and families. Pray that all who do Respect Life work for the Archdiocese of Denver in Northern Colorado are guided by the Holy Spirit and possess wisdom, courage, compassion and hope.
