Initiative 120
“In 2020 the citizens of Colorado may have the opportunity to vote on ending abortions from 22 weeks through birth.  In order to get Initiative 120 on the ballot, many signatures will need to be collected state wide.  Initiative 120 bans late-term abortion at or after 22 weeks gestation.  It provides loss of medical license & criminal penalty for the abortionist.  No criminal penalty for the mother. It provides exception for life of the mother.    Colorado was the first to decriminalize abortion in 1967.  Currently NO Limitation on abortions to birth • Only 25% support abortion with no limits • We need 125,000/200,000 Signatures.”  During the weekends of 16/17 November and 11/12 January, volunteers from St. Gabriel will be available in the Narthex to collect signatures of registered Colorado voters.   If you have any questions please contact Angel McGrady admcgrady at gmail.com.
VOTE FOR LIFE!

Financial Peace Live-Free Event
Is Financial Peace easy?
No. You have to make a decision, maybe one of the hardest you’ll ever make. You have to decide to live like no one else. You have to want to live the way grandma always told you – spend less than you earn. You have to budget, and save. Is Financial Peace simple? Yes. Budgets are not difficult to do. Saving is not complicated. It starts with baby steps, and we’ll show them to you. Join us at St. Gabriel on Nov. 20 for a FREE livestream of Financial Peace Live. You’ll learn about budgeting, saving for emergencies, and making a plan for the future. Discover what it means to live like no one else, so you can live -- and give -- like no one else. Doors open at 6 p.m.; the 2 ½-hour livestream event begins at 6:45 p.m. Visit fpu.com/1101743 to register. Child care will be provided. To register for child care, visit the Financial Peace University page at  www.saintgabriel.net; deadline to register for child care is Nov 17.
