St. Elizabeth of Hungary Church

About this church

St. Elizabeth of Hungary Roman Catholic Church sits on the Auraria Higher Education Campus in downtown Denver. Mass is offered Monday through Friday at 12:15 p.m. and on Sunday at 9:00 a.m., with confessions Monday through Friday from 11:30 a.m. to noon. The parish is part of the Archdiocese of Denver and was established in 1878 as the city's second Catholic parish, originally serving the German community of the Auraria neighborhood. The Romanesque church building dates to 1898. The parish office is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., and the church is reached at 1060 St Francis Way.

Because of its location, much of the parish's activity is aimed at college students. The site lists a Wednesday evening candlelight Mass at 5:30 p.m. celebrated in Latin, a free lunch on Thursdays at 1 p.m., Bible studies connected with campus missionaries, and spiritual direction for college students by appointment. Faith formation and OCIA meet Thursdays at 5:30 p.m. during the school year. The parish also handles weddings, and it keeps a Spanish-language page listing shelters, food, clothing, and other help available around Denver. Mass and class times can change with the academic calendar, so visitors should confirm on the website or by phone.
