(A repeat of Aug. 5)  If you wanted to learn about the new Catechism but weren't sure where to start, this class is for you. FREE.  Call 303-715-3260 to register.

This retreat runs from Tuesday, August 25 to Friday, August 27.

Our Mother Mary, after her Son, is the best model we have of how to fully be a human being. In the midst of the insecurity of our time, we can approach Mary in search for company, her example, and as an effective help in our Christian Life.

In this retreat, we will meditate on different aspects of Mary as our model. In prayer, we will try to have a personal encounter with our Blessed Mother and  learn ways to live closer to her.
