Dear parishioners:
Our Second Annual Casino Night will be held again at the Breckenridge
Brewery at 23rd and Wynkoop on Sat. Nov. 2nd at 7 p.m. Ticket are $25
and include gambling chips. Please purchase them in advance at the
school.
We have up to $1000 for each current student whose family qualifies for a
scholarship. We received another $10000 from an anonymous donor
Our Golf tournament was very successful this year also- $10,000 more
than last year. We have asked the Martin Foundation for more scholarships for new students.
We will begin a Spanish Sunday Mass at 12:15p.m. beginning on Sunday,
December 1st. This is on an experimental basis for one year! Fr. Peter
Urban will generally be the celebrant. If you are interested in being a lector, usher, server, or musician at this mass please call me at the rectory or
talk to Julie.
Registration for Religious Education begins this weekend Sept. 22, 29 and
concludes on Oct. 6th. Cost is $30 per student.
Don’t forget to make your payments to the Archbishop’s Catholic Appeal.
Our goal is $20000 and we have only paid $9022 at this time..
Please purchase a King Soopers card. It benefits the school 5%. You buy
the card for $10 and you get $10 worth of groceries or gasoline too! Then
you add the amount you want to spend each time you go to the store. We
have raised over $25000 in two years with this program! Cards are available at the school office and from Fr. Ed.
May God bless you this fall!
Fr. Ed

I am sure that frequently many of us ask ourselves and perhaps ask God, why we are here
on this earth. The answers too often seem to be
very far from our daily activity, and sometimes out of mind for years. Each of us, defined by our genes and faculties, has been
created by God in His Image and Likeness.
God is infinite and we are finite. He has stated
in His own inimitable manner that He desires
us to share in His Divinity, and thus we have
an immortal soul, and in the final analysis, our
bodies which He created, will be with Him in
the Kingdom of Heaven. At every instance He
has shouted out to us that He desires to share
with each of us His Divinity, and in that vein
He offers at every instance of our earthly reality, Grace. We are His creatures, the direct
result of His Love and His Power.
Even if we meditated upon the very essence of
our being “created in His Image and Likeness”
for a lifetime we might never arrive at the
awesome Gift that God has bestowed upon
human beings. It is worth every moment in our
lives to contemplate that we are indeed
“created by God in His Image and Likeness.”
As we read Holy Scripture, and review the
events of mankind itself, do we not see that He
has revealed to us that He desires us to live
and to act and to think, and to share in His
Divinity? Indeed He does! Down through the
centuries He has revealed to humankind how
He desires us to achieve the closeness to Him
and to share in His Divinity.
There have been so many inroads into our
lives that have directly and indirectly, seemingly removed us from that constant reality,
i.e. that we are created in the Image and Likeness of God and that He desires us to be holy,
saintly, loving, and to share in His mighty
Divinity. The number of instances in the many
lives of humans on this earth has graphically
spelled out His Divine concern for our lives
and how we are to grow and advance in our
sharing His Divinity. We see this in the lives
of so many saintly people, and we certainly
see it in the lives of many who have exemplified His Love and Mercy and compassion, i.e.
His Holy Saints, His Martyrs, and yes, His
Mystics. If we would but look very carefully,
we will see these individuals all about us.
These individuals have heard His message,
seen His vision, and they have sacrificed and
offered themselves to the Creator, as indeed
He desires.
It is not that we cannot do the same in our
lives, for He has promised and indeed He supplies the Grace to do so...
