A rare First Class relic of St. Maximilian Kolbe
A rare First Class relic of St. Maximilian Kolbe for Divine Redeemer Catholic Church in Colorado Springs where the relic will be permanently displayed and venerated.
A couple of summers ago, Fr. Jason Keas was blessed to lead a pilgrimage to Poland to learn about the great saints of Poland like St. John Paul II, St. Faustina, and St. Maximilian Kolbe. St. Max was a Conventual Franciscan Friar who was greatly devoted to the Blessed Mother, founder of the Militia Immaculata, founder of the largest friary over 700 friars. St. Max died for another prisoner in Auschwitz making him a new category of a saint, a martyr of charity. Fr. Jason Keas was able to celebrate Mass at Niepokalanow (City of the Immaculate Mother of God) where St. Max would teach his over 700 friars and publish information about Mary. After that Mass in Poland, Fr. Jason was given a rare First Class relic of St. Maximilian Kolbe for Divine Redeemer Catholic Church in Colorado Springs where the relic will be permanently displayed and venerated.

June 4th
Eucharistic Adoration will take place after the 8am Mass with Exposition and concludes at 12:30pm with Benediction.
At least two parishioners are asked to sign up for time with the Blessed Sacrament, which cannot be left alone. This is a great way to develop and strengthen your relationship with Jesus each month. Sign up online at SignupGenius or call the parish office at 719-633-5559.
CoVid Vaccine Information
1. A memorandum from the USCCB dealing with the moral implications of receiving vaccines made from aborted fetal tissue. This is helpful for answering questions as to whether or not it is permissible to receive such vaccines.
2. A chart indicating which vaccines are derived from fetal tissue and which are not.
Food Pantry
The Divine Redeemer Food Pantry has been in existence since 1969 and is supported entirely by the generosity of our parishioners and school families. The Food Pantry is open the second and fourth Monday of each month. Many items other than food are offered.
We will have our food pantry on May 10th and 24th from 11 to 1pm. It will be a drive through line so people don't have to get out of the car. Many people in our community are unable to provide for their needs, especially during this trying time.
Our needs for May are: jelly, boxed cereal.
We ask that you leave these in the Community Center on designated tables during the times that the church is open. If you cannot shop, you may donate a scrip card or a benefit mobile gift card and we will take care of the shopping. For more information, please contact Trish Faber at [email protected].
*In case of Inclement Weather the food pantry will follow Divine Redeemer School for closure. If the school has a two hour delay the Food Pantry will be as usual. Please watch any of the local television stations for closures. Thank you.
Together, we make a difference!

Inclement Weather Policy
Weekend Mass and daily Mass will always be celebrated regardless of weather conditions. Should there ever be an exception to this, we will make every effort to have the cancellation noted on the local TV stations and send out a Flocknote. If you are not signed up for Flocknote, we would highly encourage doing so. Text redeemer to 84576, go to https://divineredeemer.flocknote.com/login, or call the parish office at 633-5559 to sign up. This allows us to update parishioners with the most recent announcements for our parish and school.
If the school closes, the parish office will also be closed. All daytime and evening activities for both the parish and school will be cancelled.
If you should choose to attend Mass on an inclement weather day, please be advised that the walks may not be cleared. Be sure to wear the appropriate footwear for adverse conditions. We highly to encourage you to consider your safety first.
