Spiritually – Strengthen our parishes and our Catholic community through your charitable giving. The Catholic Foundation of Northern Colorado is here to help you plan your Will, including the opportunity for special gifts that you may not be able to create on your own. As Catholic faithful, we believe our earthly treasure is a gift from God, and we can give it a way to serve the greater good. Give alms.

"The task which the Lord gives us ... is the vocation to charity in which each of Christ's disciples puts his or her entire life at his service, so to grow each day in love," the Pope said in his homily for the Canonization Mass of Mother Teresa of Calcutta Sept. 4. It is estimated that there were 120,000 people in attendance at the Mass, accord- ing to the Vatican Press O£ ce. Speaking of St. Teresa, Pope Fran- cis noted how she "bowed down before those who were spent … seeing in them their God-given dignity." "Today, I pass on this emblematic fi gure of womanhood and of consecrated life to the whole world of volunteers: may she be your model of holiness!" he said.
