There are two kinds of families that I notice at Christmas Mass. The first are those with young children dressed up in their best Christmas finery, excited about the whole day. The kids sing the songs they know with enthusiasm. They admire the array of Christmas trees and poinsettias in the sanctuary. They rush to visit the creche after Mass to see the baby Jesus.

COLORADO SPRINGS. For almost 70 years, Divine Redeemer Catholic School has been a beacon of faith, hope and charity for its neighborhood, its parish and the greater Colorado Springs community. When the school opened in 1956, the parish was answering the call to minister to the many young families who lived in the Divine Redeemer community. The parish sacrificed to provide a faithfully Catholic and academically challenging education to their children. 

COLORADO SPRINGS. The annual Mass of the Holy Innocents will take place Dec. 28 at 9 a.m. at St. Francis of Assisi Parish in Colorado Springs, 2650 Parish View. The Mass commemorates all children who have died due to miscarriage, accident, illness, abortion, Sudden Infant Death syndrome, violence, or in an otherwise untimely manner.
