20 APRIL 8-21, 2017 | DENVER CATHOLIC In Brief Classifieds TV MASS FOR THE HOMEBOUND COLORADO PUBLIC TELEVISION, CPT12 Over 700 from the archdiocese to enter the Church at Easter In an age when Mass attendance and the faithful practice of Christianity seems to be dropping across the board, we're blessed here in the Archdiocese of Denver to have such a strong Catholic community. Parishes have been leading RCIA programs since last Fall to educate and form the next batch of people seeking the fullness of faith, and we're pleased to report that at the Easter Vigil, the Catholic Church of northern Colo- rado will be welcoming over 700 new Catholics into the fold. It's a testament to our great priests, deacons, religious educators, catechists, sponsors and everyone else involved in the process that such a healthy number of people have found Christ and desire to be a part of his Church, but most of all, it shows the Holy Spirit is moving a whole lot more than we may realize. To those entering the Church: Welcome to the family!

These pro- life groups are present on colleges across the country advocating for and promoting pro-life values. The group held their first con- ference April 6 with Dr. Anthony Levatino, who spoke on the topic "From pro-choice to pro-life." A Students for Life group on the Anschutz Medical Campus can only mean good things for the local pro-life movement, as the teaching hospital serves as one of the most practical training grounds for our future doctors and medical professionals.

Titled Ignatius of Loyola: Soldier, Sinner, Saint, the film will be the first one made about the founder of the Jesuits since the late 1940s, which was a black and white Spanish film with English subtitles. Filmed in Ignatius' native Spain, the film is based on the true events of his tumultuous life. St. Ignatius is credited with bringing the practice of discernment to the Catholic faith; a process popularized by "The Spiritual Exercises" that he developed. "Many people are hungry for the spirituality that was developed by a layman from his own life experiences," said Sister Peg Maloney, a spiritual director who teaches Ignatian spiri- tuality at Regis. "For more than 500 years, 'The Spiritual Exercises' have provided a framework for prayer and contemplation that are applicable for any Christian." There will be no admission charge for the screening, though a $5 donation is suggested. For more informa- tion about the film, visit ignatiusmovie.com.
