ABOUT CUL: History

Catholics United for Life of St. Anthony of Padua Parish in Cody, Wyoming, was founded on September 14th, 2005. We are affiliated with Catholics United for Life, whose national office is in New Hope, Kentucky (Archdiocese of Louisville, Kentucky). The national organization was founded in 1974 by permission of Bishop Mark Hurley in the Diocese of Santa Rosa, California. CUL is a not for profit corporation (501(c)3).

Our logo, consisting of a stylized cross with four Greek inscriptions, is used to represent the national organization of Catholics United for Life (CUL). The stylization of the cross suggests a Dogwood tree, which is believed to be the type of wood used for the cross on which Jesus was crucified. The four inscriptions are Greek for the caption below the cross: Jesus (IC) Christ (XC), Victor (NI KA).
