A few particularly notable posts that you’ve probably already seen as they’re at the rightly popular site of Gerard Serafin.

The earlier posts have to do with the recent establishment of a bi-ritual parish at the edge of downtown Denver. The existing parish of St. Elizabeth of Hungary is to also host a new Russian Catholic church. One pastor, the rather remarkable Fr. Chrysostom Frank (who chrismated St. Blog’s own Sean Roberts) will serve both communities. There is also a campus ministry to three educational institutions (University of Colorado @ Denver, Metropolitan State College and Community College of Denver) that share the campus on which the church is located. It turns out that Gerard has carried on a long correspondence with Fr. Frank. Check back here next week for more on Fr. Frank’s great new enterprise.

The other post gives note to converts in general (with several specific people mentioned too).

N. B. This blog will likely emulate many others by being scarce in the next week or so. Hope all have a safe any happy holiday!
