For many people this season is hard. Maybe we are grieving the loss of a loved one or the end of a relationship or job, or are suffering other emotions and heartaches.
Hosted by Stephen Ministry, a Blue Christmas service allows us to acknowledge our sorrow and pain, hurts and losses at this time of the year, and also seeks to help us acknowledge and feel God’s presence and coming for us, to help us find hope in his love.
Starts at 7:30 in the upper foyer. There is mass at 6:30 if you would like to attend that also. Stephen Ministers will be available to meet, talk , and pray with you.
Transportation can be provided if needed - please call the parish office at 970-635-5800.

Continuing Christ’s Mission
From The Rescue Project: We passionately believe that the most urgent task is the compelling proclamation of the gospel, one that not only shares it in an attractive – and concentrated – way, but that also offers people a way of seeing reality, and of making sense of the world, history, and life that is vastly different from the story our modern culture tells.
Our parish will begin a study group going through The Rescue Project, a 7-week course from Fr. John Riccardo, Wednesday evenings at 6:30pm in the Bread of Life Hall. We will be providing dinner each night of the course. The dates will be 9/20, 9/27, 10/4, 10/18, 10/25, 11/8, 11/15 with a Saturday retreat on 11/11. (rescueproject.us).
What is the Meaning of Life?
The Search is an innovative video series that tackles the key questions of every human heart. In seven beautifully filmed episodes hosted by Chris Stefanick and featuring other experts from multiple fields of science, medicine, psychology, art, and religion…they examine our place in the larger story of existence. We will meet Wednesdays after morning Mass in the Bread of Life Hall. The dates will be 9/20, 9/27, 10/4, 10/18, 10/25, 11/8, 11/15.
