About Us

The original Church of the Holy Ghost (present-day Helen Bonfils Parish Center, lower level) was dedicated on December 14, 1924. The present-day Holy Ghost Church was dedicated on July 8, 1943. However, the parish traces its roots back to the 1860 construction of St. Mary’s Cathedral, the first Catholic church in Denver. In 1905, a new downtown parish was formed under the title of the Holy Ghost as the present Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception was established on Colfax and Logan, and the new parish used the old cathedral until a permanent home could be established. Since our founding, it has been our pleasure to dedicate our service to our fellow worshipers.

In 2001, priests and brothers of the Oblates of the Virgin Mary began to staff Holy Ghost Church. We are here to provide you guidance on your spiritual journey. No matter where you are on the path to the Lord, we’re here to help. We guide men and women who are hoping to experience the joy of encountering the Lord through the scriptures and the sacraments to develop a grasp of His presence in their lives, in full communion with the universal Church.

Explore our parish activities and see how you can express your faith and become involved with the church from social ministry, weddings, RCIA, lectors, and religious education to clubs and bible studies.
