Erik Vigil Endow Denver launches Hispanic division The small signs of chivalry towards woman— opening the car door, giving up the seat on the bus—is part of a "silent recognition" of that greatness. This was said by Bishop Jorge H. Rodriguez during his homily at the launching of Endow Hispano that took place Jan. 28 at the Christ the King chapel in Denver.® Around 150 women from di¡erent parishes attended the launch event. They came full of enthu- siasm to begin a spiritual and intellectual journey that allows them to learn more about themselves, to form communities of faith, and to discover and strengthen their "feminine genius" for the glory of God and the people he loves. Endow is a women pastoral project inspired by the thoughts of St. John Paul II, which is made up of groups of eight to twelve women from di¡erent parishes who study the teachings of women, their role in society and the Church. It was founded in 2003 in Denver, and has since launched in 130 dio- ceses around the world. Bishop Rodriguez said that Endow "will help them find all that rich inner wisdom that God gave to women. To bring the world love with passion and joy." Denver Catholic print edition good for more than just the co•ee table While the Denver Catholic makes for good co¡ee table reading material, it has other uses as well. For example, how about teaching theology? Students in a theology class at Mullen High School were recently seen reading the previous edition of the paper, particularly the cover story about dating in a digital age, and how it relates to Christian morality. It's flattering to see that our content and stories can be used to help shape the minds of the next genera- tion of Catholics and go beyond simply keeping the faithful of northern Colorado informed. PHOTO BY ANDREW WRIGHT NEW SEMINARY RECTOR NAMED Archbishop Samuel J. Aquila of Denver has named Father Daniel Leonard, current pastor of Christ the King Parish in Denver, as the new rector of St. John Vianney Theological Seminary. Father Leonard succeeds Father Scott Traynor, who will conclude his ministry as rector at the end of the academic year. Father Traynor will return to his home Diocese of Sioux Falls, South Dakota. In a letter sent to seminary fac- ulty and students, the archbishop thanked Father Traynor for his ser- vice. He also thanked Bishop Paul Swain of Sioux Falls for allowing Father Traynor to serve in Denver for four years. "Father Traynor, in addition to his seminary work, has overseen the restructuring of the Deacon Program, improved the Catholic Biblical School and Catechetical Schools, leading to record enroll- ment," he said. Father Leonard will begin to serve as rector in June. "Father Leonard comes to the seminary with an excellent pastoral and academic background, along with seminary experience." Born in Cork, Ireland, Daniel Leonard was ordained a priest in 1994. He holds a doctorate in philosophy from the Pontifical Gregorian University, and a licen- tiate in Dogmatic Theology from the Pontifical Athenaeum Regina Apostolorum. Father Leonard incardinated in the archdiocese in 2006. He was parochial vicar at Sacred Heart of Jesus parish in Boulder from 2000- 2005 and has served as pastor of Christ the King in Denver since 2005. He has been a professor at the seminary for the past 15 years.
