5th Grade Liturgy

Every academic school year, 5th graders from the Archdiocese of Denver Catholic Schools celebrate Mass with the Archbishop of Denver at the Cathedral. The tradition of the 5th grade liturgy dates back to 1993 under then-Archbishop Stafford. Archbishop Stafford once said, “The fifth graders are chosen to attend this liturgical celebration of the Eucharist because you are studying sacraments this year, and you are at an age when you can begin to appreciate your membership in the community of the Church.”
