A Charism to Life -- "to lay down our lives so that others may live"

SISTERS OF LIFE - DENVER

 

Founded in 1991 by John Cardinal O'Connor, these sisters have taken not only the three traditional vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience, but have also been called to be consecrated under a special, fourth vow to protect and enhance the sacredness of human life.

Reverence and gratitude for the unique and unrepeatable gift of each human life made in the image and likeness of God fuels the prayer of each Sister in mission to build the Kingdom of God and the “Culture of Life.

This fun and exciting race was inaugurated in 2015 by Shannon Gunning who has since entered into community with the Sisters of Life in New York. All proceeds go to support the Denver Sisters of Life. That's right, all proceeds will go to support, protect, and enhance a Culture of Life through the mission of these awesome sisters.

We look forward to running with you for this fun and exciting race Sunday, September 17, 2023! Invite your family and friends to come together as a community to enjoy the outdoors with the Sisters of Life and support their awesome mission!
