There comes a time when the cup of endurance runs over and men [and women] are no longer willing to be plunged into an abyss of injustice where they experience the bleakness of corroding despair. I hope, sirs, you can understand our legitimate and unavoidable impatience. . .
—Martin Luther King Jr.
We are celebrating the Second Sunday in Ordinary Time at 5:00 p.m. via Zoom. The presider is Father Michael Nicosia assisted by Pastor Rosean.

Dear Siblings of the Rocky Mountain Region,
It is with joy that we announce that Mother Kae Madden (Pastor of Church of the Beloved) and Father Michael Nicosia (member of St. Paul Lutheran & Catholic Community of Faith in Denver and the Vicar to our Region) have accepted their nominations for the upcoming election as our region's first local bishop.
After the vetting process is complete, the candidates and the regional communities will enter a period of discernment. During this period, the candidates and communities will meet to have Holy conversations discussing each candidate’s call to be bishop.
Community members will have the opportunity to prayerfully hear each candidate’s vision and ministry for the region. Members will also have an opportunity to ask questions of each candidate to help them more fully understand the candidate. In addition, the Bishop Call Committee will send out information to the communities on each candidate.
Please pray for the Wisdom of the Holy Spirit to descend upon us all as we journey through this discernment process.
