The Archdiocese of Denver announced clergy assignments last week. We are excited to share that Rev. Shannon Thurman will be the new pastor at St. John's, starting in July. Fr. Shannon was ordained in 2018, celebrated his first Mass at St. John’s, and was a parishioner here before answering the call to the priesthood. Please keep Fr. Shannon in your prayers as we look forward to welcoming him back to our parish.
