On Jan. 30, 1984, a Mass was held at Pikes Peak Center celebrating the establishment of the Diocese of Colorado Springs and the installation of its first bishop, Richard C. Hanifen. This is a recording of the Mass as broadcast live on KRDO, including the famous "papal bull" incident involving Papal Nuncio Pio Laghi that is often retold by Bishop Hanifen.

THE BISHOP'S CROZIER: Illuminating Our Path

By Bishop James R. Golka

Train the young in the way they should go; even when old, they will not swerve from it.” – Proverbs 22:6

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
As Catholic Schools Week approaches, it is worth reflecting on these important words from paragraph 2223 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church.  “Parents have the first responsibility for the education of their children.”  The same paragraph goes on to quote Pope St. John Paul II, “Parents should teach their children to subordinate the ‘material and instinctual dimensions to interior and spiritual ones.’”

Inicia al niño en el camino que debe seguir, y ni siquiera en su vejez se apartará de él” (Proverbios 22, 6)

Queridos hermanos y hermanas en Cristo,

Al acercarse la Semana de las Escuelas Católicas, merece la pena reflexionar sobre estas importantes palabras del párrafo 2223 del Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica.  “Los padres son los primeros responsables de la educación de sus hijos”.  En el mismo párrafo se cita al Papa San Juan Pablo II, “Los padres han de enseñar a los hijos a subordinar las dimensiones ‘materiales e instintivas a las interiores y espirituales’”.

"The contemporary world urgently needs the service of educational institutions which uphold and teach that truth is ‘that fundamental value without which freedom, justice and human dignity are extinguished.’” — St. Pope John Paul II (Veritatis Splendor, n.4)

Each year, we take a week to celebrate the amazing gift of Catholic education.
