19th Sunday in Ordinary Time, August 10, 2025
Pastoral Letter from Fr. Jarrod Waugh, CSC
I am excited to announce that, beginning with the new “school year” this fall, we are implementing a new format to the way that faith formation will work on Sunday mornings. This new program of catechesis and formation is called “Anchored in Faith.”
After the 9 am Mass, instead of each “class” of young people going immediately to their own classrooms with their own catechists, most Sundays EVERYONE will be invited to a GROUP presentation in the Parish Center (old gym) which will last for 15-20 minutes. THEN the common gathering will disperse to their own small group locations (children to their classrooms, teens to Confirmation class or youth group, and other adults will stay in the gym at tables) for an additional 30 minutes of age-targeted instruction and activity in that more intimate setting.
This change is motivated by a shift in approach that I am seeing at more and more parishes around the country, and even in this diocese, to what is variously called “whole parish,” or “whole community” catechesis or formation. I want every member of the parish to have access to the educational, spiritual, and cultural opportunities that your priests and parish staff and volunteers prepare for our continued growth in the faith. Adults will have access to the lessons, friend groups will be able to discuss them, and parents will hear much of the same material as their children, which I hope will enable questions and conversations to continue at home.
What will not change is the need for volunteer catechists to lead the break-out classes of our children, and for them to prepare activities and lessons for that second half of our time. The biggest changes will be the group aspect at the beginning and the fact that the individual “classroom” and small group time will be shorter. Catechists will also have the schedule of the large group presentations to help them plan what to do with the small group time.
I remain immensely grateful to all our parishioners who have and will continue to give of their own time and love and knowledge of the faith to share with their brothers and sisters in the pews, especially with our youngest members. I am looking forward to how this new format might help us to forge bonds of charity not just with age-specific classes, but also across the different ages, friend groups, and communities in our parish.
Gratefully,
Fr. Jarrod Waugh, CSC, Pastor

The Year of Hope
Pope Francis declared 2025 as the Jubilee Year of Hope and has called for this Jubilee Year to "be a moment of genuine, personal encounter with the Lord Jesus.” (Spes Non Confundit, 1). Christ is truly the "Hope that does not disappoint."
As Pilgrims of Hope, we are encouraged to draw closer to God through prayer, study, formation, and pilgrimage. The Diocese of Colorado Springs website offers a number of resources to assist on your journey, including recommendations on books, formations/ studies, ministry resources, podcasts, prayers, and more!

The Colorado Bishops have issued a statement on immigration titled "Welcoming the Stranger, Protecting the Common Good." Click the logo to read the full statement.
“As Catholic Bishops of Colorado, we approach the issue of immigration with prayerful hearts, seeking to guide our communities in a spirit of charity, justice, mercy, and prudence. The call to welcome the stranger is woven into the fabric of our faith, and in standing with immigrants, it is our first concern that they know the love of Jesus Christ and their dignity as human beings. We also recognize the responsibility to ensure the safety and well-being of our communities, as well as passing on the teaching of the Church on immigration to those who govern.”
