A lot has happened since our Last Blog!

On Tuesday our new Cupola weighing in at 22,000 pounds was hoisted effortlessly to its new home. Thanks be to God that there was no wind at all that day!

Our Bishop Michael Sheridan was warmly greeted by our Parishioners prior to the Blessing. Many parishioner came to the Blessing and the fine BBQ provided by the Knights of Columbus. Unfortunately, severe thunderstorms prevented the raising of the Cross which was moved to the following Sunday. Thanks Gary Atler at G David Photography for taking the fine pictures!

Castle Rock Firefighters Jay Allen, Shawn McWhorter, Justin Coffey and Franktown Fire Paramedic Brian Kendall folded and presented a United States Flag which they presented to Bishop Sheridan in honor of all those killed on September 11th.

On an absolutely beautiful Sunday Morning our New Cross was raised into place. Master Craftsman Jon Tucker is seen here moving the cross into place assisted by Castle Rock Firefighter Justin Coffey. Many of our parishioners were in the parking lot cheering and honking their car horns!

Our new Cross was also blessed by two visiting Bishops from the Ukraine – Bishop Marion and Bishop Vitaly, two visiting Priests from the Ukraine – Father Yuri and Father Igor as well as Fr. Paul Wicker from Holy Apostles Parish in Colorado Springs and Fr. Brad.

A lot of work is going on both on the inside and outside of the New Church.

New tile is being placed. The Sunset Stone is being placed on the inside of our new Church. Cabinets are being placed. Here we go on our Sprint to the finish of our Project. Fransen-Pittman and the Subcontractors are doing a great job!
