It’s no secret that in a broken world such as ours, the effects of sin are far-reaching. In particular, the insidious sin of racism often rears its ugly head.

This year, St. Elizabeth’s Mission Parish on the Auraria campus recalled God’s divine mercy in a special way on the Sunday dedicated to the same. A crowd gathered to witness the unveiling and dedication of the latest addition to the church’s property: a statue created by renowned Catholic artist Timothy Schmalz and placed in the courtyard of the quaint yet storied church.

Archbishop Samuel Aquila of Denver has written again to the head of the German bishops’ conference reiterating that the country’s synodal path challenges, and even repudiates, the deposit of faith. “The Synodal Path does not simply address ‘structural’ concerns: it challenges, and in some instances repudiates, the deposit of faith.

The red brick Victorian-Gothic façade of Denver’s St. Joseph Church has been a dignified landmark at the corner of West Sixth Avenue and Galapago Street since 1888. Due to its architectural significance, the educational role it played for more than a century, and its ongoing spiritual and social mission, the church is on the National Register of Historic Places.
