COLORADO SPRINGS. The Catherine of Siena Institute (CSI), based in Colorado Springs, has been awarded a $1.25 million grant by the Lilly Endowment as part of Lilly’s “Thriving Congregations Initiative.” 

Priests do so much for us.  We go to our priests for our spiritual needs, prayer requests, Mass offerings, and sacraments (sometimes urgently).  Through the hands of the priest we receive the greatest gift ever given — the Holy Eucharist.  Without our priests, we would not be able to receive the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of our Lord, Jesus Christ.  Yet, how is the priest sustained spiritually in all that he does for us?  Praying for the priest is one of the most generous things we can do for him. 

COLORADO SPRINGS. Deacon Eugene Eastham died Oct. 18 at his home in Colorado Springs. Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated Oct. 26 at Our Lady of the Pines Parish. Burial followed Oct. 29  at Pikes Peak National Cemetery.

Colorado Catholics have a moral obligation to support Amendment 80. While some well-intentioned partnering organizations are opposing Amendment 80 because of a misunderstanding in the proposed Amendment’s language, the Amendment clearly states the following: “parents have the right to direct the education of their children” and “children have the right to equal opportunity to access quality education” and “each K-12 student has the right to school choice” (defined as “neighborhood, charter, private, and home schools, open enrollment options, and future innovations in education”). The language intentionally uses the word “and” to imply that all of these rights and education options are equal and are not intended to contradict another.
