Proper name. Loving, cozy community. Love that confessions are offered before all Mass celebration. Come join!

I attended this church hoping to find clarity, guidance, and a deeper connection with God, but I left feeling more confused than when I walked in. One of the biggest challenges for me is reconciling the words preached with the outcomes I continue to see. Scripture repeatedly emphasizes humility, truth, service, and care for others. Jesus warned in Matthew 7:16, "You will recognize them by their fruits." The question people naturally ask is: what fruits are being produced? If people consistently come seeking answers and leave spiritually exhausted, confused, or disconnected, that deserves reflection. Jesus also spoke strongly against religious leaders who became focused on appearance and authority while neglecting deeper responsibilities. In Matthew 23, He criticized leaders who placed burdens on others while failing to embody the values they taught. Reading those passages, I could not help but think about how many people today struggle with organized religion because they feel they are hearing polished words but not experiencing genuine spiritual care. Beyond my experience here, there is also the unavoidable reality that the Catholic Church as an institution has carried devastating scandals throughout history, including cases of abuse and cover-ups that shattered trust for countless people. I am not saying this church participated in those events, but pretending that history does not affect people's perceptions would be dishonest. Many people walk into Catholic churches carrying those questions and wounds with them. For me, the experience felt emotionally distant and spiritually empty. I came hoping for understanding and left feeling as if I had received more ritual than substance. James 3:1 reminds teachers that they "will be judged more strictly," and spiritual leadership carries a responsibility beyond simply delivering sermons. People do not come to church because they want a performance. They come because they are hurting, searching, and hoping for truth. Others may have had a different experience, but mine left me asking whether the institution has become too focused on preserving itself and not focused enough on helping people truly grow in faith and understanding. If you ever happen to go here, I want you to do what I do - read the subconscious cues. I specifically went to this church to test them. I specifically went to see how they responded to other denominations - the lead pastor laughed when I said I switched to a Baptist/non-denominational church when I was 13; he laughed as a mockery to them. If you truly look at a good faith, Christian church, they will not go against others who have the same beliefs as they do (no matter how small the differences may be). read more

I accidentally went here thinking it was Catholic but was pleasantly suprised to here minister almost defending Catholic 's. What a breath of fresh air. If I were staying in the area I would most definitely revisit. Congregation was very welcoming. read more

Loved the Latin novus ordo; the priest celebrating sang excellently and the choir was amazing. One of the best NOs I've been to. Not sure why EMHCs were used because there weren't even that many people but other than that it was good. Will definitely go again now that I live in walking distance. read more

While in town for a football game, I was able to attend 7am Sunday Mass at this beautiful gem. Nestled among the city building, this holy place stands just as tall as the sky-risers. Small, humble, and peaceful. Come and praise here. read more

Holy Ghost Church - Inside - Churches Near Me - Denver, Colorado

This is my favorite, most special place in all of Denver. It is beautiful but what's better and more important is, the presence of God here. They have Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament every weekday. The priests are kind and compassionate and giving of their time, to listen and help. They have several ministries including helping the homeless. If you were to walk in on a weekday when Adoration is going on you're bound to feel the true presence of Jesus read more

Holy Ghost Church - During Easter time as I was praying in adoration - Churches Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I walked in the doors of this place 7 months ago and it's been such an amazing experience. It is staffed by a wonderful group of priests from the oblates of the Virgin Mary. There is so much fellowship and community amongst the parishioners. A number of events are held there and Holy Ghost does so much for its community. I highly recommend you come to a mass. read more

I try to stop by here at least twice a month just to soak up the architecture. It was built in 1924 and then the 46 story skyscraper was built AROUND it in 1984. read more

This is an architectural delight. The history of this church is a wonderful part of Denver History. I was raised in the Catholic Church and my memories were not a warm welcoming environment . This changed when I found Holy Ghost. The Church is inviting and friendly to all persons. There is a strong commitment to the greater community including social ministry, sandwich line for persons experiencing homelessness and assistance to immigrants. The Latin Mass is poetic and Latin is not a language I possess but it's so beautiful to be a part of. The choir that performs for several services is talented and add that special touch. The location is downtown with easy parking. This is my refuge when life is hard and right now I need this. No matter what your background, I recommend visiting . You will quickly understand the many positive reviews. read more

This is my pop's new church and it is lovely. Normally with catholic churches you look for the stained glass, but this church it is all about the marble. You are transported to the sandy early churches in the middles east. There is pretty stained glass as well. I blame the beauty for why I was a little lost at first. Well that and not having been to a mass in at least 5 years. The church body is really warm and diverse and it is one of the more community oriented Catholic churches in the area. Plus any church sermon that mentions Al Pacino in Dog Day Afternoon catches my attention. read more

The center for Ignation spirituality in Denver. I was thrilled to happen into this church for mass! read more

Holy Ghost Church - Churches Near Me - Denver, Colorado

By saying this in a public place like Yelp scares me since this only helps more people find this church, but here it goes.... I think this is the most beautiful church in Denver and is one of the most beautiful churches I have ever been to. If you are from out of town and are looking for a place to worship, this is a great place. Latin Choir Mass at 10 am on Sundays. Go into the basement after mass for coffee and donuts! read more

One of the most beautiful churches I've had the pleasure of visiting. Many nearby 5 star hotels recommend this one to their guests. The architecture and stained glass are beautiful. It ranks on the beauty scale right next to the New Orleans church I visited recently (St, Patrick's). I went to the traditional Mass on Sunday evening, at the odd time of 5:10 PM. As an out-of-towner, I did not know where to park, so I parked a few blocks away at a curb. Beautiful music (including a violin), talented cantors, and a great service. Only the Body of Christ was offered; no Blood of Christ. read more

I've only been here one Sunday, the first Sunday of lent, and it was great. The church itself is top notch and beautiful. They definitely take care of it and did a great job designing it (whenever that was). The service was great and provided a good message. It wasn't boring. :) Parking was easier than I imagined as Sundays provides free meter parking at certain times. We parked right out front. Id love to come back and recommend it to anyone nearby that needs to hit up a mass. read more

This is a beautiful church! I'm so glad they preserved this building despite the changes around it. The priest who celebrated mass was really good too. He had a concise yet very heartfelt homily. Granted we were there with parents for Easter so it was an event to be thought and planned out, this service was really good.:-) read more

My favorite church in the city. Small unique and reminds me of New York. Very friendly to it's neighbors and the homeless. Great garden on the side of the church that keeps you nice and cool on hot days! read more

If you are looking for a Catholic church that has a sense of mystery, peace and sacredness, look no further. Ecclesiastical architecture which improves worship is hard to come by these days, but Holy Ghost Church never fails in that regard. The homilies are uplifting, the people are friendly and the neighborhood parking is easy. read more

I knew I was going to be in Denver for a conference so I decided I would see which Catholic churches would be near my hotel and would have Mass times that fit into my schedule. Holy Ghost was nearby. It was a short walk of about 10 minutes from the convention center. The sun came out and the walk gave me time to clear my head from all of the self-centered beauty junk (I was attending the American Academy of Dermatology conference). The smell of incense immediately took me away from the earthly matters I was dealing with. I was struck by how old the structure and design appeared to be. Not sure if it really was as old as I thought (1920s?). I settled into a pew and it was nice to see Breaking Bread was the Missal as it is the same as we have at my church in California. I could go on about how beautiful the interior is, just look at the photos, but the thing that always sticks with me when I attend Mass at a new church is how we are all members of one community. I came in a stranger and within a few minutes I was welcomed as a member of the family. This is the spirit of Christ living in each of us if we are willing to carry on His message. read more

Stunning church building that is very strong and different. Liturgy is top-notch Novus Ordo, very reverent and traditional.

This church always takes my breath away every time I enter. They also are one of the few that offer a latin mass. . .if you have never had the pleasure/experience! Go at least once. . . read more

Beautiful church, Convenient Mass schedule with various options, and captivating Mass celebrations with beautiful music, thoughtful homilies, and a nice community. Noon and 5:10 pm masses are my favorite read more

Served as an Alter boy in the '50's. Remember some Fathers taking a little shot of wine before the Mass. Started at the Nun's convent near 22nd & Tremont St, later at the basement of the church and eventually, big time, on the main floor... Fond memories read more

The Sunday 10:00 am choral mass is so beautiful! It's such a counter-cultural experience. No one rushing through the liturgy.Forcing people to think about what is going on. There is a learning curve on the Latin. I tried pretty hard, but there were times I got lost. I would think by about the 5th time, I would have it all down! Strong emphasis on confession and humility in line with Ignatian spirituality. Sermons are serious and thoughtful. Ambiance is very reverent, prayerful, and peaceful. Building is beautiful but not ostentatious or distracting. I don't have experience with the other masses, but definitely recommend the Sunday 10:00am. I try to go every chance I get! read more

A beautiful church surrounded by sky scrapers and celebrating its 70th year in 2013. We attended the 10am Mass which is in Latin. The friendly usher gave us a book to help us follow along with the prayers and the hymns. There were about 75 people of all ages at the Mass and most were in casual dress attire with few men in coat and tie. So, it is not overly formal. The incense added to the sense of worship. The highlight is the choir singing hymns in Latin and English with organ music. We were glad that we stuck around after Mass and heard the organist playing a final song that had a tremendous finish. He rocked the house, and the saints must have been smiling. read more

Inside of the church is beautiful, but the masses r downright boring and distant. There's no energy, no joy in the congregation. The worshipers r aloof. During the peace offering where we exchange greetings and 'peace' to one another(and I enjoy shaking hands of my brethren), I tried to exchange greetings with a young lady. I extended my hand, and she made me look foolish by just nodding at me. It was a very cold, unfriendly encounter as if I had a disease or something. Never happened to me before. No sense of brotherhood. I feel alienated and stressed when I go to mass here. read more
