Mass is the highest form of worship in the Catholic Church, and thankfully, we are able to participate once again on a limited scale! While things are not “back to normal” yet, we can accommodate many households in person for Sunday Mass. Due to restrictions at this time, households must sign-up to attend Sunday Mass. When you cannot attend Mass, it is still important to keep the Sabbath holy. Live stream Mass is available here every Saturday at 4 PM and remains posted so you can watch whenever works best for you!

Daily Mass has resumed at our normal times. No sign up required; just be sure to wear your mask. Mon-Fri: 6:30 AM, 8 AM, 12:15 PM. Sat: 8:30 AM.

Note: Due to recent restrictions, sign-ups are now required for ALL of our weekend masses.

An Act of Spiritual Communion:

My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.

Important Updates Concerning Operations of the Parish

Fr. Scott Bailey

Updated November 2nd

Dear friends in Christ,

Now that Denver is in a stricter phase of “safer at home” we need to put stricter limitations on attendance at Mass. Therefore, effective starting November 7/8, sign-ups will be required for ALL weekend Masses and we are reducing the number of households allowed in the church.

We realize that this is a sadness and frustration for everyone – myself included. I am grateful for your understanding and cooperation.

The sign-up is on the homepage of our parish website (https://risenchristchurch.org). Please only sign-up for 2 or 3 weekend Masses in a month to allow other families to attend. When you cannot attend in person, consider watching the livestream recording on the homepage of the website, or join us for a daily Mass during the week.

Weekday Masses will continue as they are, without sign-ups.

Masks are still required in our buildings and are more important than ever. Please wear your mask fully over the nose as well as the mouth.

It is possible that Denver will move into a “Stay at Home” order in the coming weeks. For this reason, we are not releasing the sign-ups for Christmas Masses yet. Hopefully we can do so by the end of November, with a greater knowledge of what will be expected by the Archdiocese and civil authorities.

Let us continue to pray for one another and place all things in our Lord’s hands.

Yours in Christ,

Fr Scott

REMINDER: You must wear a maskcovering our mouth AND NOSE. This is a directive from the archbishop for the proper wearing of masks, to ensure that all of our parishioners feel safe to attend Mass. I know of higher-risk parishioners who have not yet come to Mass because they are concerned that people won’t be taking proper measures to ensure their safety. Wearing the mask over the mouth AND NOSE is a sacrifice that we all make out of love for our brothers and sisters. Thank you for helping to make Mass at Risen Christ a place where everyone feels safe and welcomed.

Limited public Masses – Due to attendance restrictions at this time, households must sign-up to attend Mass. The link to the sign-up form is on this website’s homepage. For those who cannot attend in person, video of the weekend Mass continues to be available on the parish website beginning at 4:00pm on Saturdays.

Daily Masses have Resumed – Daily mass is back! No need to sign up. Just show up and wear your mask. Daily mass is offered Mon-Fri at 6:30 AM, 8:00 AM, and 12:15 PM. Saturday daily mass is offered at 8:30 AM.

Penance & Anointing of the Sick – Confessions are available in the CHURCH at our normally scheduled times. Masks must be worn by all who come to confession. Please follow the signs in the church when you come to confession.  Our priests continue to offer the anointing of the sick for those who are in danger of death.

Church and Adoration chapel- You are welcome to pray before the Tabernacle in the chapel or in the church. The church is opened daily at 8:00am. For your safety, we sanitize the church daily.
