📰 News we're reading

• Inside Vail Valley Catholics' Historic Campaign to Build TWO New Churches (denvercatholic.org) — Catholic parishioners in Edwards are rallying behind a major capital campaign to replace St. Clare of Assisi’s makeshift gymnasium worship space with a true church. Along with a new St. Mary campus in Gypsum, the effort has already raised over $21 million from more than 800 donors. Organizers emphasize that the project is about uniting the valley’s diverse Catholic community as much as constructing new buildings.
