Parish Lenten and Holy Week Schedules

Cuando el Padre Jason Keas (párroco de Divino Redentor) y el Padre Alex Díaz (párroco de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe) se me acercaron por primera vez con la visión de unir las dos parroquias en un Santuario diocesano, me conmovió el discernimiento orante de estos santos hombres, así como su humildad y caridad al ser conscientes de las necesidades de cada parroquia y de la diócesis.

Pope Francis calls each of us to be a tangible sign of hope for those in great need. Bishop Golka echoes this call, emphasizing that Jesus alone reveals the fullness of God’s mercy and the truth about humanity. He challenges us to step beyond our comfort zones, carrying Christ’s hope into modern society and making His presence known in the ordinary places of daily life. Throughout this year, the Herald will explore the many ways the faithful in our diocese are living out this mission.

COLORADO SPRINGS. During this Jubilee Year of Hope, (which runs until Jan. 6, 2026), the Church has designated particular churches in Rome and the Holy Land as sacred Jubilee sites.
