Watching your kids grow up is never easy... but what happens when your son becomes your... "Father"?! We sat down with Rick and Mary Machado to talk about what it's like to be the parents of a newly ordained priest, and to reflect on the gift of fatherhood - especially the spiritual fatherhood of our priests!

Sunday’s procession through downtown Denver was a powerful witness to the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. The Eucharistic procession drew nearly 5,000 faithful from across the archdiocese and from neighboring dioceses together in peaceful prayer in the heart of Denver. “As we accompany Jesus through the hustle and bustle of economic, legal and legislative centers of the City and State, I am reminded of the way Jesus stopped to heal the woman with a hemorrhage in the Gospel of Mark,” Archbishop Samuel J. Aquila said of the historic procession through downtown. “Even amid the busyness of his day, Jesus stopped to encounter his beloved daughter and heal her. During these days, Jesus comes to encounter his beloved sons and daughters in northern Colorado, in the heart of Denver.” As the National Eucharistic Procession leaves the archdiocese and arrives in the Diocese of Grand Island, Nebraska, we look back on what Sunday’s events meant to the Denver Catholic community!
