  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

A traditional quinceañera — a celebration for a young Hispanic woman when she turns 15 — includes not just a beautiful ball gown and vibrant party but also a Mass of celebration and thanksgiving.

Now, in preparation for her quinceañera, a young woman may also opt to take classes with the “Quinceañera Created for God: Creada para Dios” program. The course is an eight-week bilingual formation program run by local parishes designed to prepare young women for their quinceañeras by forming them in understanding their femininity from a Catholic perspective.

Attendees braved the snowy Colorado weather on Nov. 7 to celebrate the launch of “Creada Para Dios” at Most Precious Blood’s St. Stephen’s Hall in Denver. The group also included participants from the Diocese of Cheyenne, Wyoming. Denver Auxiliary Bishop Jorge Rodríguez led the gathering in bilingual prayer to open the event.
