As the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) gathered for their Fall Plenary Assembly in Baltimore, the bishops issued a Special Message addressing their concern for the evolving situation impacting immigrants in the United States.

On this past Monday morning in Baltimore, the Bishops of the United States began the November Plenary Conference in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament.  As we have followed the path of Pope Francis through this Jubilee Year of Hope, so now we have been gathered under the leadership of our new Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV. 

In the 2017 animated movie Coco, inspired by the Mexican holiday Dia de los muertos, we hear sung, “Remember me, though I have to say ‘good-bye.’ Remember me, don’t let it make you cry. For even if I’m far way, I hold you in my heart… remember me.”

As we look toward Thanksgiving and Christmas, I realize that 2025 is quickly coming to an end, and so is the Jubilee Year of Hope. What will be our take-aways from this special time of grace?

I tend to be very literal, and I have a tendency to not believe unless I see it with my own eyes.  Nevertheless, like I was taught from toddlerhood, I believe in God, Heaven and all the things I was taught, but I believed them in a subconscious sort of way. Because they tell me to believe.  So, when praying the Rosary in front of a statue of the Virgin Mary, I was praying to that statue I was looking at. Not to an invisible person dwelling in an invisible Heaven.

In his first public Exhortation, Delixit te--- I Have Loved You, Pope Leo has announced the foundation of his papacy, a renewal of our commitment to our relationship with Jesus Christ. 

Evil still has power in this world.  We see challenges in society where we must not only acknowledge that forces are moving swiftly to break God’s covenant of love, but also that these forces will tear apart our society. 

Diocese of Pueblo Officials: November 2025

The Diocese of Pueblo has a new hire!

The Diocese of Pueblo has a new hire!

The senseless violence, school shootings, acts of terror; the recent assassination of Charlie Kirk while speaking to university students; leave us with feelings of sadness, anger, and futility as to what is happening to our society.  The killing of the young, our best and our brightest, in places of supposed safety, health and learning is leaving its dark imprint on those who survive.  We pray for those who have been killed, for their families and communities. 

The readings of the past two weeks called us again to the cross.  In Luke’s Gospel, Jesus says, “Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.” 

Thank you for supporting the effort to protect kids in Colorado.

“John the Baptist was there with his two disciples, and as he watched Jesus walk by he said, behold the lamb of God.” (Jn. 1:35-36).

I, together with my brother bishops of Colorado, am asking you to support three important citizen initiatives: • First, to strengthen penalties against the human trafficking of minors. • Second, to ensure fairness and safety in school sports by affirming the reality of male and female. • Third, to protect children from irreversible medical procedures that attempt to change their God- given biological sex.

In 2025, Catholics around the globe and in the diocese of Pueblo have been uniting for the Jubilee Year, celebrated under the theme "Pilgrims of Hope." This Holy Year invites believers, seekers, and all those drawn to renewal and reconciliation to embark on a spiritual journey, aiming to cultivate peace in a world often divided by conflict.

The Sacred Story Retreat is a 45 to 50 week retreat in daily life based on the Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius. Father Don Malin has been leading this retreat for five years after having made the Retreat himself privately at the behest of Bishop Berg and the Presbiteral Council.

Upon taking her vows as a Carmelite nun, St Therese of Lisieux began to sign her name as “Sister Therese of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face.”   She later wrote, “Until my coming to Carmel, I had never fathomed the depths of the treasures hidden in the Holy Face.”
