School’s out for summer! ☀️

Last week marked the end of classes for the academic year for our seminarians, and the joy is hard to miss!

Please pray for all of our seminarians as they conclude another academic year of formation. As they begin summer assignments or retreats in the weeks ahead, may the Lord continue to strengthen them in their vocation and draw them ever closer to the heart of the Good Shepherd.

“Freedom consists not in doing what we like, but in having the right to do what we ought.” - St. John Paul II

Happy Independence Day!!

From all of us at the Archdiocese of Denver: Happy Independence Day!! 🇺🇸

As we enjoy the fireworks tonight, let's give thanks to God for the gift of freedom and for the men and women who defend it! 🎆

Let's join in prayer today for all our seminarians and priests across the Archdiocese of Denver!

Did you know that today is also the Day of Prayer for the Sanctification of Priests? 🙏🙏 Let's lift up our shepherds in prayer, that our Lord would enkindle in their hearts an even deeper love for their bride, the Church!

As St. John Vianney said: "The priesthood is the love of the heart of Jesus.” 🔥

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us!

Special feast day shoutout to Sacred Heart of Jesus School in Boulder, Sacred Heart Parish Denver, Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Roggen and Sacred Heart Mission Church of St Mary Catholic Church in Rifle!

Wishing everyone a blessed Corpus Christi! 🙏 May our Eucharistic Lord transform our hearts!

Do you believe the Eucharist can change your life?

We might know in our minds that Jesus is really present — that he hasn't left us since Holy Thursday.

But do we know him in our hearts?

Jesus wants to help you love like he does. It starts by receiving the gift of Love himself.

As we receive our Lord in the Eucharist today, or prepare for the next time, may we pray:
Jesus, increase my love.
Jesus, preserve my love.
Jesus, renew my love.

Just as he multiplied the loaves and fish in today's Gospel, he can multiply what little we offer with humble hearts.

Will you approach our Lord with confidence today?

Have you ever wondered how to help cultivate a culture of vocations?

Now more than ever, our archdiocese urgently needs priests, with only 49% of active archdiocesan priests formed at St. John Vianney Theological Seminary or Redemptoris Mater Missionary Seminary.

So, what's our first step? Join in prayer, learn more and consider sharing this post with a friend (or two!). 🙏🙏
