———————————————————————————————————–

Effective Immediately December 8, 2020: Mass capacity is increased to 89 Congregants. The Governor has issued a new order somewhat relaxing rules regarding capacity for houses of worship. 89 is the max capacity in which we can still ensure six feet of distance between all parties. Masks are still required for the entirety of the Mass. May God Bless You during this Holy season of Advent.

Advent Sign Ups will be posted on a week by week basis, to be posted on the Monday of each week. We apologize for this change in routine. This is our attempt to try to curb some of the no-shows we experience each weekend.

Sign Up for Mass Here.

Effective Immediately October 27, 2020: Mass is limited to 50 Congregants. Please Sign Up with the button below.

Donate today to the Archbishop's Catholic Appeal

This year’s Archbishop’s Catholic Appeal is more important than ever. The first million in donated funds will go directly to parishes to help mitigate the decrease in general offertory during this pandemic. The Cathedral Basilica is down more than $38,000, and St. Elizabeth’s of Hungary mission church is down more than $8,000 in revenue. Some parishes have been affected even more greatly. Thank you for your generosity towards this year’s Archbishop’s Catholic Appeal.

Typically, one week of our parish offertory is enough to fund the utilities of the Cathedral. Our Outreach Ministries continue each day with a sandwich line in the morning and bagged lunches at the Food Pantry in the afternoon. Since the suspension of Mass, our weekend offertory is disrupted and we are in need of funds to keep the Cathedral lights on and people fed.

Please donate today. See the DONATE button on the top right of the Home page.

Letter from Fr. Ron

Father Ron continues our Parish prayer each day.

Please donate to help us keep our Sandwich Line and Food Pantry operational.

“For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all.”

– Timothy 2:5

We invite you to join this vibrant community.

You are welcome!

The Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception serves as the mother church for the growing faith community of almost 500,000 Catholics, in 144 parishes and missions spread throughout northern Colorado.

The Cathedral houses the kathedra, or chair, from where the Archbishop carries out his service to the Church of Denver as Teacher and Shepherd. Locally, the Cathedral Parish is a spiritual haven for over 700 households.
