COLORADO SPRINGS. Benedictine Sister Mary Glenn died April 27 at age 79. A Memorial Mass was celebrated May 18 at Benet Hill Monastery.

May is the month of Mary, and in most parishes it is the month when many of our young Catholics receive Communion for the very first time. The celebrations are joyful, but sometimes gift-giving can be problematic. Money is a common (and always welcome) gift for the first communicant, but it can also feel distant to some givers.

With the recent coronation of King Charles, I was reminded about the Saturday afternoon last September, when I spent an hour in the adoration chapel at Holy Apostles Church.

COLORADO SPRINGS. Four Knights of Columbus Councils from the Diocese of Colorado Springs were recently honored at the Colorado State Knights of Columbus Annual Convention in Aurora, as one of the Top 10 local councils in the state for 2022.
