Archbishop Samuel J. Aquila visited Notre Dame Catholic Parish to celebrate the 9 a.m. Sunday Mass on the occasion of the 65th anniversary of their founding, an anniversary they hope will kickstart efforts to reinvigorate the parish and neighborhood for the next 65 years and more. (Photo provided) What better occasion to celebrate than a massive trifecta of anniversaries? Notre Dame Parish in southwest Denver and its priests celebrate milestone anniversaries this year: the pa

"We can calculate countless hours of prayer for the salvation of the world, countless sacrifices, persevering in their vocation even in difficult times," said Bishop Rodriguez.

(Photo by André Escaleira, Jr.) What if Catholics didn’t have to choose between God and mammon? This tongue-in-cheek question serves as the inspiration behind a Catholic co-working space, coming soon to the Knights of Columbus Hall in downtown Denver. The space, currently being renovated, would be one of few such collectives in the nation; organizers said that the only other they could find was in Cleveland, Ohio. The idea is a return to an apostolic view of work. “The apostl

Photo provided Operation ‘Sacred Rescue,’ as it has been called, continues in earnest at Mount Olivet Catholic Cemetery in Wheat Ridge. Just over a month ago, more than 60 Sisters of Loretto were carefully, reverently and diligently exhumed from their resting places on the Loretto Heights campus in south Denver with the intention of reuniting them with other Sisters of Loretto buried at Mount Olivet. Since then, the Neitenbach family has been working hard to provide caskets

The event, which will have a 5K obstacle course, live bluegrass music, food, and games, among other things, has taken place for the last two years.

It’s no secret that in a broken world such as ours, the effects of sin are far-reaching. In particular, the insidious sin of racism often rears its ugly head. Recognizing the importance of examining our own consciences and learning from others’ experiences, the Archdiocesan Committee for Racial Equality and Justice (ACREJ) is hosting a pre-recorded webinar to discuss, reflect, and pray together on this important topic. The committee was born out of a group pilgrimage to Montg

Renowned composer Eric Genuis performed at St. Vincent de Paul Parish in Denver May 5. (Photo by André Escaleira, Jr.) As the evening twilight grew darker, the beauty of the Creator was on full display. Renowned composer Eric Genuis, along with a small team of exceptionally talented musicians, performed some of his original compositions at St. Vincent de Paul Parish for a second year in a row on May 5. With themes of redemption, hope and humanity, Genuis’ music aims to elevat

This year, St. Elizabeth’s Mission Parish on the Auraria campus recalled God’s divine mercy in a special way on the Sunday dedicated to the same. A crowd gathered to witness the unveiling and dedication of the latest addition to the church’s property: a statue created by renowned Catholic artist Timothy Schmalz and placed in the courtyard of the quaint yet storied church. The statue “evokes the line from the Gospel of St. Matthew, ‘When I was hungry you fed me,’” said Father

Deterioration over its 134-year history was putting the venerable landmark at risk. The red brick Victorian-Gothic façade of Denver’s St. Joseph Church has been a dignified landmark at the corner of West Sixth Avenue and Galapago Street since 1888. Due to its architectural significance, the educational role it played for more than a century, and its ongoing spiritual and social mission, the church is on the National Register of Historic Places. That designation, awarded in 19
