A MESSAGE FROM FR. LORRENZO: I want you to know that I pray for all of you. I say Mass daily and pray for all of you and for the scheduled Mass intentions. I invite you to pray and to watch or listen to a Mass or to make a Spiritual Communion.
Masses in English and Spanish at https://www.ewtn.com. Check local listings for televised or audio Masses.
Mass is recorded at St. Columba Catholic Church in Durango on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays. You may see these at their website www.stcolumbacatholic.org
When unable to receive the Holy Eucharist, you are encouraged to pray with the Sunday Gospel and make an Act of Spiritual Communion such as described at Spiritual Communion.
From Diocese of Pueblo:
In a time like this, when Mass is unavailable, the Catholic faithful are dispensed from their Sunday Mass obligation. . . .
During this time of the global pandemic, let us continue to remain in prayer and solidarity as we pray for the intercession of Our Lady of Guadalupe and Saint Thérèse of the Child Jesus to watch over the Diocese of Pueblo, grant wisdom to the medical and scientific community, and for a quick resolution to this global health crises.
