Bishop Golka's Reflection on the Second Week of Lent

COLORADO SPRINGS. Bishop James Golka issued the following statement regarding the celebration of St. Patrick’s Day on March 17:

As we begin this New Year with optimism and thanksgiving for all the blessings God has given us, we also are still savoring our recent memories of this past holiday season surrounded by friends, family and loved ones. We may have been so wrapped up in the spirit of the season that we were not able to take time to recognize or help those less fortunate among us as much as we would have liked. 

COLORADO SPRINGS. The Sisters of Benet Hill Monastery and the Sisters of St. Francis of Perpetual Adoration of Colorado Springs will celebrate Catholic Sisters Week by holding a “Stuff the Truck” event March 11-12. The purpose of the event is to raise awareness  of the 475,000 Coloradans who experience hunger daily, of whom 150,000 are children. Food donations for Westside Cares, an ecumenical organization that provides four-day food packages to those in need, will be collected at several locations in the Pikes Peak Region.
