Pilot parishes launch local campaigns Leadership events set strong pace as churches embark on HOF program
At a time when young people face enormous moral challenges, six Colorado parishes have stepped for ward to offer them hope. Leaders and pastors from St. Augustine in Brighton, St. Clare and St. Mary in Eagle County, Sts. Peter and Paul in Wheat Ridge, Holy Trinity in Arvada, Sacred Heart of Jesus in Denver and St. Jo seph in Fort Collins joined Archbishop J. Francis Stafford at two shared leadership events for Hearts on Fire, the five-year archdiocesan capital campaign. “This is our moment,” Archbishop Stafford told ‘pilot parish" gatherings at the John Paul II Center for the New Evangelization May 23 and at St. Joseph Church in Fort Collins May 22. “It is our turn to give God glory. These are the days that will define us. This is the work every one of us will be remembered for by the generations yet to come." The pilot parishes will serve as prototypes for the remainder of the Church of Northern Colorado in its effort to raise $64 million. Members of pilot parishes will receive Hearts on Fire introductory letters from their pastors this week, along with case statements specific to their parishes. Hearts on Fire, which begins at most parishes in the fall, is cff to a remarkable start, with M -6 million in mtgor gift pledges already secured at the archdioc esan level. Priests from within the archdiocese have also committed more than $300,000 to the effort, dem onstrating their strong support for the campaign. But the heart o f Hearts on Fire is in the parishes, where a shared offertory increase will support parish- based initiatives and archdiocesan-wide needs. That's why the pilot parishes’ leadership is so important. “lb do the work of the Gospel, we must do more than survive," said Don Craighead, a Sts. Peter and Paul parishioner who served as master of ceremonies at the Denver event. “We must thrive." Among the needs addressed by parish case state ments are refurbishing a church steeple, hiring a full time youth director, replacing a school roof, upgrad ing a parish’s computers, improving landscaping and parking facilities and renovating a convent into reli gious education classrooms for youth and adults. The archdiocesan needs addressed by HesuYs on Fire include renovating the John Paul II Center for the New Evangelization, establishing The Seeds of Hope IXtition Assistance Fund, constructing and reno vating archdiocesan high schools, creating an endow- Continued on page 4 I ■ac-,-

She was here when the ski area ojiened a few years later, giving Steamboat Springs a split personal ity of cowtown and resort. “When we came here, there was one Mass and you knew every'body in church,” Kelly says, with a laugh. “Now there are three Masses and you don’t know anybody — unless they’re an old-timer.” If Kelly can’t keep up with all the new faces, however, most of the new faces know her. She’s sitting in the back pew every Sunday and in the front pew most other days.
