COLORADO SPRINGS. On Jan. 31, ACT for Freedom Now (AFFN) held a conference at St. Francis of Assisi Parish in Colorado Springs titled “Just Do Something.” The purpose of the conference was to educate participants on the reality and pervasiveness of human trafficking and pornography.

When Deacon Ernie Martinez took on his role as director of deacons for the Archdiocese of Denver three years ago, he brought with him an insight few clergy possess: 40 years of experience with the Denver Police Department, where he witnessed firsthand how peer support could save lives.

The increase in the number of catechumens and candidates entering the Church in the Diocese of Colorado Springs matches the same trend seen in other dioceses and archdioceses throughout the United States and the world.

During its most recent quarterly meeting, the Board of Directors of the Catholic Foundation of the Diocese of Colorado Springs created two new endowment funds to benefit Catholic education. 

Professor Lucas Pollice will present formation and feedback sessions in each deanery of the diocese beginning April 11. Javier Cervantes, Director of Hispanic Ministry, will give the same presentation in Spanish at several locations. 

On March 26, the College of Consultors met and elected Father Kyle Ingels as diocesan administrator. 

As students at St. Vincent de Paul Catholic School in Denver shuffled their way through the school gates, some still wiping the sleep from their eyes, they were met with a bit of a surprise — even before the Monday morning school bell trilled.

In his first media appearance in Northern Colorado since his announcement as the sixth Archbishop of Denver, Archbishop-designate Golka talked faith, family, discernment, prayer and evangelization.
