Dear reader:

Over the next few weeks, we will be conducting an important survey to better understand your readership of the Denver Catholic and other local Catholic media. I greatly appreciate your responses. The questionnaire is designed to take just a few minutes of your time and will help us create the best magazine and website possible to meet your needs. Your responses are completely anonymous and your openness and honesty is appreciated.


Did you know...
  • Denver Catholic is part of the preaching and teaching responsibility of the Archbishop, and a ministry of the Archdiocese of Denver.
  • DenverCatholic.org is our digital publication that is updated daily, while the Denver Catholic magazine is published six times per year.
  • Changing from a bi-weekly newspaper to a bi-monthly magazine cut our print and mailing costs in half and reaches more people.
  • A year of the Denver Catholic magazine costs less to print and mail per household than one large gourmet coffee.
  • Our costs are offset considerably by revenue from our advertisers. (Please support them!) Donors to the Archbishop’s Catholic Appeal and the annual USCCB Catholic Communications Campaign also help.
  • We are eco-friendly; we use plant-based ink and 100% recyclable paper stock.

Thank you in advance for your support and your opinions.



Sincerely,


Most Rev. Samuel J. Aquila, S.T.L
Archbishop of Denver
