Charity & Social Services

Catholic Charities of Colorado Springs is the charitable arm of the Diocese of Colorado Springs.  Catholic Charities provides services to those in our community who need help the most.  Last year Catholic Charities served 219,000 meals to over 140,000 people at the Marian House Soup Kitchen.  More...

Catholic Education

Vocations and Leadership

Currently, the diocese has 12 men in seminary.  When formation is complete for these men, the diocese will realize a 14% increase among its numbers of priests. While this is an incredible blessing, there is still such a great need.  RGG will enable us to reach more young men and in turn help us to open their hearts to hearing God’s call for their lives.
