It provides both an understanding of the meaning of God's word and the application of its message to our lives today. Please call the Catholic Biblical School at 303-715-3195 for more information.

Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA), Teens (RCIT), and Children (RCIC)

RCIA is for non-Catholics who wish to join the Church, baptized Catholics who desire First Eucharist and Confirmation, and those who have never been baptized. Church teachings are presented in the context of a community of faithful believers so that the faith becomes a living, experienced reality. We meet September - June. For grades 6-12, RCIT follows the same process from September - May to help teens prepare to receive the sacrament of initiation in the context of the LIFETEEN program. (see link) For grades 3-5, RCIC meets from September through April and offers sacrament preparation for Baptism, First Eucharist, and Confirmation. .

Men's Retreat

The Men's Retreat is held at St. Louis in February. Please watch the bulletin for information as it becomes available.

Women's Day

Women's Day is an annual fall event that provides a time where women can get together as a church community to learn more about our faith. It's a day of celebration, prayer, reflections, and blessings. Women's Day consists of a Mass, a guest speaker, beautiful music to warm our hearts and personal time to find ourselves in the loving presence of God. Women's Day will be October 15, 2005.

Cooking for Senior Support Services

On the first Monday of every other month, St. Louis provides a meal for 70 homeless elderly residents of Denver. A small crew delivers and serves a dinner made up of items that are cooked or donated by parishioners. We need food donations every month.
