Year of St. Joseph
The Diocese of Colorado Springs has compiled a Year of St. Joseph web page featuring downloadable resources, helpful links and more at this link.
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.
