Advent and Christmas Day schedules for the parishes in the Diocese of Colorado Springs.

COLORADO SPRINGS. “Priorities are just a list until they’re tested” — this is the advice often given by Deacon Rob Rysavy while serving in leadership roles in the military, non-profit, and education arenas. It is also the counsel he is now following for himself with his decision to step down from the position of St. Mary High School’s president in the summer of 2023.

COLORADO SPRINGS. The Catholic Center at The Citadel will celebrate Saturday Mass at 12:10 p.m. effective Nov. 5 in order to allow for more confessions before Mass. The Saturday Mass is not a vigil Mass and does not fulfill the Sunday obligation. For more information, visit catholiccitadel.org.

NEW YORK. While the mostly agreeable comedy “Ticket to Paradise” (PG-13, Universal) won’t necessarily transport viewers to cinematic heaven, it will take them to a good place, both visually and thematically. Set in Indonesia (though filmed in Australia), the film showcases enchanting island landscapes as well as ethical ideas generally in keeping with Gospel-based morality.
