FRUITA. On Dec. 9, 2023, Bishop Stephen Berg of Pueblo joyously dedicated the new Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe on a one-acre site located on the grounds of Sacred Heart Parish in Fruita. The bilingual Mass of Consecration capped off years of planning, construction, fundraising, hard work, and earnest prayers by the 12 members of the Our Lady of Guadalupe Shrine Committee – known as the “Mary Committee” -- as well as the many other parishioners, deanery members and even strangers who donated their talents and treasure to the project. 

"But Peter and the apostles said in reply, ‘We must obey God rather than men.’” (Act 5:29).

"Pedro, junto con los Apóstoles, respondió: ‘Hay que obedecer a Dios antes que a los hombres’” (Hechos 5, 29).

Hoy hay en el mundo más de 400.000 hombres que respondieron a la llamada al sacerdocio.  Son 400.000 hombres únicos e irrepetibles.  No hay dos iguales, no hay dos con los mismos talentos, no hay dos que sigan el mismo camino hacia la ordenación.
