8 MAY 26-JUNE 8, 2018 | DENVER CATHOLIC T he paintings, the colors, the sounds and aroma… everything plays its role in the harmony of a church, the beautiful and holy place capable of lifting soul and body to worship the true God wholeheartedly. Who said liturgical beauty belonged to cathedrals of cen- turies past? Holy Name Parish in Engle- wood's renovation and dedi- cation of its new altar, at the hand of Archbishop Samuel J. Aquila May 19, has the goal of bringing the faithful to a "glimpse of heaven on earth," as Pope Benedict XVI insisted, saying that beauty was not "mere decoration, but rather an essential element of the liturgical action, since it is an attribute of God himself and his revelation." "[The renovation is] fi rst and fore- most for the glorifi cation of God," said Father Daniel Cardó, pastor of Holy Name Parish in Denver and member of the Sodalitium of Christian Life. "The whole idea is about how we can love God more, how we can worship in a better way, how we can adore him with even greater reverence." After remodeling the parish hall and o• ces with the pur- pose of evangelization, for- mation and spiritual direction, Father Cardó and some parishioners knew that they could do more.
