Grants were also awarded this year to two archdiocesan elementary schools to cover the cost of paraprofessional classroom support and classroom equipment. With its first full blown fundraiser, BonFIRE, scheduled for Aug. 27, and with several additional schools already planning to apply for grants in the coming year, FIRE Denver (firefoundationdenver.org) aims to be here for the long haul to defray the costs of devel- oping a culture of inclusive education in more and more of our Catholic schools. There are so many opportunities in our arch- diocese to "walk the walk " that is pro-life for the whole of life. We face challenging times ahead and it is tempting to be overwhelmed by the wave of anti-life rhetoric and action in our state. To keep our feet in this tumult, we must continue to seek Jesus in everyone we encounter and trust that the Holy Spirit is working through our concrete actions, however small, to build up the Body of Christ. We have the great blessing of a local Church which has so many avenues already in place for us to offer our time, our skills and our financial support in this mission. And we must measure our own "success" in this mission by our love. Onward!
