SEDALIA.  It’s been 17 years since Jesuit Father Joe Laramie lived in Colorado, but in some ways it seems like he never left.

COLORADO SPRINGS. Many Catholics in the Diocese of Colorado Springs may be aware that Our Lady of Guadalupe is the patroness of the diocese, and that Bishop James Golka dedicated a new shrine in her honor, located at 927 N. Logan Ave., on July 5. But the connection between the two is even more meaningful when considered in light of the symbolism found in the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe that was miraculously imprinted on the tilma of St. Juan Diego, according to a priest considered to be one of the world’s top experts on the subject.

COLORADO SPRINGS.  The Diocese of Colorado Springs held two Discernment Retreats this past summer: one on July 12 for men ages 18-40, and one on Aug. 16 for boys ages 11-17.  This was the third consecutive year for these discernment retreats and it was also the third consecutive year that Bishop James Golka was our keynote speaker.

COLORADO SPRINGS. Our pilgrimage to Rome, Assisi, and Turin for the Jubilee of Youth July 27-Aug. 5 was eye opening, deeply moving, and spiritually awakening. But it really began back in November 2024, when we started preparing, offering our time, sacrifices, and prayers to shape ourselves into true pilgrims. We were carried by the prayers and support of many from our diocese. Along the way, we grew in virtue.
