The Montelores Catholic community consists of Roman Catholics in Montezuma and Dolores counties in southwestern Colorado.  This area is a rich mixture of physical terrains and cultural heritages - mountains, desert, farm country, people newly arrived and archaeological sites of people who lived in the area more than a thousand years ago.  The area also includes a Ute Indian reservation and Mesa Verde National Park.

Four Roman Catholic churches are active here. Each has its own identity and history, yet many activities are shared.
