Pilgrimage Ministries, Office of the Bishop
The spiritual practice of pilgrimage traces to the beginning of our tradition, as early Christians sought to encounter the Risen Christ by walking in the footsteps of Jesus in Jerusalem and throughout the Holy Land. Today both adult and youth pilgrims from across Colorado have discovered that by making a pilgrimage, individuals and communities experience their faith and find inspiration in ways they never imagined!

Teach Men to Fish
Teach Men to Fish is a 501c3 non-profit organization that offers free hands-on training in construction skills to young men and women in Uganda. A fundamental goal of the program is to assist apprentices to become independent, productive members of the community who are able to create a better life for themselves and their families.
The program emphasizes the importance of safe construction practices along with teamwork, accountability, and integrity. In February 2022, the apprentices completed a maternity facility (see photo) which they constructed “from the ground up,” and which has now seen the birth of over 400 babies. The next building project (to be started in January 2023) will be a new outpatient surgical center in a nearby community. All is done to the glory of God.
The Church of the Holy Redeemer
We are the oldest Anglo-Catholic parish in the diocese and historically an African-American church located in the heart of Denver’s African-American community. We have become a richly diverse faith community that unconditionally embraces people in love. By honoring our cultures, traditions, and faith, we live into a reconciled, just, free and faithful future. Learn and join with our new vision to become a social justice coalition center in partnership with other non-profits.
