PARTICIPATE IN YOUR PARISH ORGANIZATIONS

Knights perform good works based on four core principles: charity, unity, fraternity, and patriotism. The Knights are engaged in a variety of events that promote works of Charity. Annual events include  Lenten Fish Fry nights, which are fundraisers for the Knights of Columbus. In addition, the Knights host a brat and beer garden as part of the Parish Festival.   

Meetings are held the first Tuesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. in the parish hall.

The purpose of the Respect Life Ministry is to promote the dignity and to respect the sanctity of all human life by educating all with whom we come in contact on life issues, and to promote prayer for the conversion of our society from a culture of death to a culture of life. 

Risen Christ’s Respect Life Ministry prays at Planned Parenthood at 7155 E 38th Ave in Denver during ALL business hours every third Friday of the month, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. (winter hours).  Please choose an hour to pray, and bring friends! We hope to have at least 4 people during every hour.  Please sign up for an hour that is convenient for you and that will fill in all time slots.  Click here to sign up.

The purpose of the Senior Ministry is to provide a spiritual and social community for the seniors (55+) in our parish.

The next senior ministry function is:

SENIOR MINISTRY LUNCH

Wed. July 16, 1:00 p.m.

 All parishioners 55 and older are invited to join us for lunch, followed by a presentation about Julia Greeley  She was declared a “Servant of God” under Pope Francis, and a new pope brings hope that Denver’s “Angel of Charity” will soon become a saint.  Greeley continues on the path to sainthood as her cause remains under review at the Vatican.  She joins four other African Americans being considered for sainthood. Born in the 1800s into slavery, Greeley dedicated her life to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and committed to serving the poor.  Her works of charity put her on the path to beautification—a long and arduous process.  Dr. Barbara Wilcots, retired vice president at Regis University and former English professor, served on the historical commission for the cause for canonization and will share more of Greeley’s life and discuss the beautification process. Cost of the brunch is $15.  Call 303-758-8826 to RSVP by Fri. July 11.

Serra International seeks to foster new vocations to the ministerial priesthood and to all consecrated religious life, to support and affirm existing religious vocations, and to further Catholicism by encouraging its members, in fellowship and through education, to fulfill their Christian vocation to service. Meetings are monthly at the parish Emmaus Center.  Contact the parish office for more information.
