The 2021 Denver Catholic Holiday Gift Guide 

Can you believe it’s almost Christmas already? It seems like 2021 has slowly passed by as quickly as 2020 came and went. While the passage of time is ever dissipating, the Lord remains constant through it all, and we now enter a time of anticipation and waiting for his coming during the Advent season. 

As the Church prepares to receive the gift of Jesus on Christmas, so, too, do we give gifts to our family, friends and loved ones in the spirit of this joyous season. There’s certainly no shortage of “stuff” out there to buy; but as with every aspect of the Christian life, discernment should be a part of not only the gifts we ask for, but also the gifts we give.  

So, without further ado, we present to you the 2021 Denver Catholic gift guide!
