Denver Catholic

The Denver Catholic was established on March 17, 1900, coinciding with St. Patrick’s Day, and featured a green-ink cover to celebrate the occasion. The newspaper has endured for over a hundred years, thanks in large part to the commitment and foresight of its early editor, Msgr. Matthew Smith, who guided the publication, then known as The Denver Catholic Register, from 1913 to 1960.

How can we grow in love through leadership this Lent?

2 months ago | denvercatholic.org | Paul Winkler

In the competitive business world, success is often measured by profit, efficiency and influence. For the Catholic business leader, success must also be defined by how well we love and serve others. We are called to integrate faith and leadership, yet we often fall short of this “both-and” calling. As much as we aspire to lead with integrity and selflessness, our hearts frequently resist.
