Join us on a faith-filled pilgrimage to St. Francis of Assisi church in Longmont. This church is one of the Pilgrim sites in Denver for the Jubilee year. We will meet in the lobby of the hotel and then go together from there.
A plenary indulgence may be obtained under the general norms, which are detachment from all sin, even venial, sacramental confession, reception of Holy Communion, and praying for the Holy Father’s intentions.
Time: 7 am to 11 am
Cost: $25 for transportation. Cost of brunch will be paid on your own at the restaurant. If the van fills and you are using an Uber or Lyft or carpooling, the cost will be shared among people in each car.
Hosted by Shelly E. and Anne B.

Dinner and Show (cost $70 per person): Anyone who would like to join us at the dinner show can use the link listed below to purchase tickets for the Aug. 21st 5PM show. For groups of 20 or more they offer a 5% discount. Our group will use NCSC2025 in the code section to receive the discount. When putting the code in, people may need to hit the enter key instead of the apply button as there is a glitch with the ticket website. Just make sure there isn’t any credit card information in before hitting the enter key or it will charge you without applying the discount first (if this does happen to anyone, just have them email us and I will adjust it). There is also a space to add a comment when completing the reservation. When purchasing a ticket, add NCSC group seating in comments to ensure seating with the group.

Come Together for a memorable BEATLES “1964” THE TRIBUTE concert live at Red Rocks Amphitheatre! This epic theater is hewn right into the red rocks under an open sky. Come Twist and Shout!
“Red Rocks is a geologically formed, open-air amphitheatre not duplicated anywhere in the world. …The design of the amphitheatre consists of two 300-foot monoliths (Ship Rock and Creation Rock) that provide a stunning setting for any performance. The dramatic sandstone monoliths serve as a history book of animal and plant life in the area for the past 250 million years.” – https://www.redrocksonline.com
It’s a Long and Winding Road – for real. Some hiking on rocky paths will be required, so wear comfortable walking/hiking shoes, “as routes from parking lots to the gates may be partially dirt, uphill and sometimes lengthy in distance, dependent on what time you arrive. Enjoy the views and keep an eye out for possible wildlife sightings!” Maybe a Blackbird? The shows go on rain or shine, so hopefully Here Comes the Sun.
We will either share Ubers or carpool with those who have cars (no Yellow Submarines), so please bring cash to help cover the cost or be ready with Venmo, Zelle, or Paypal. Food concessions will also be available before the show. More details will be emailed the weekend before the event.
Shows at Red Rocks regularly sell out, so get your ticket right away. You don’t want to find that they sold out Yesterday.
Registration:
Note: For planning purposes, we are capping this group at 20 people and the deadline to register is Friday, Aug. 15. If it fills up, you are welcome to arrange your own ride and meet us there. For those going to the Garden of the Gods, if there is enough interest in attending the concert, it’s possible a van could go directly to Red Rocks as well, if you’re not staying for the Chuck Wagon Dinner.
