Sign Up to March in Pride Parade with St. Thomas and the Episcopal Church in Colorado

June 26, 2023

On June 26th, St. Thomas will worship in the Park before we march in the Pride Parade. We will be joining Bishop Kym Lucas (The Episcopal Church in Colorado) Bishop Jim Gonia (Rocky Mountain Synod ELCA), and Methodist Bishop Karen Oliveto (Mountain Sky Conference, United Methodist Church), invite parishioners from across Colorado from the three denominations to march at this year's Denver Pride Fest Parade. 

For those unable to attend the Pride Parade, we will offer 10:00 morning prayer at St. Thomas Episcopal Church.

Gun Violence Prevention Initiative

Leading With Love in Our Community: Gun Violence Prevention

Saint Thomas has been awarded a $10,000 mini-grant from the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment to distribute free firearm trigger locks to the community!Gun ownership is an independent risk factor for firearm injury, and households that practice safe gun storage using devices like trigger locks significantly reduce the risk of self-inflicted firearm injury or death.
