Three consecutive Saturdays; three regions of southern Colorado; three very different conferences; and over 300 catechists and parishioners engaged in their own ongoing faith formation.

For Immaculate Heart of Mary parishioners, Marv and Ellie Walworth, “giving back is what our family is about.” Early in life they learned the importance of almsgiving and Christian service from their parents, and have passed on this legacy to their own children and grandchildren.
