Archbishop urges prayers for victims, 'our brothers'
By Bob JacksonDenver Rocky Mountain News Staff Writer
Denver Archbishop Charles Chaput asked more than 600 worshippers Sunday attending a special Mass to pray for seven transients who were killed because "they were our brothers." Between Bible passages and folksy religious songs, the archbishop said Denver should welcome strangers and immigrants and that "we should be responsible for our community." "Are we a city and community that care for the sick and elderly?" he asked at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. "Pray for the homeless of our city. The homeless are our sisters and brothers. We need to pray for those who were murdered because they were our brothers." So far, seven men have been found dead in a one-mile radius around Coors Field. "It was important to hold this special Mass because the Cathedral is the principal church of the archdiocese," he said. "And since it's downtown ... I hope that in some way it brought all of us gathered here to worship today to a greater awareness, but also to a greater commitment to do something to help the homeless." Cindy Atencio of Denver said she usually attends the 6:30 p.m. Mass but felt it was "nice that the archbishop held the special Mass." "It was great," she said. "I just lost my mother-in-law, so it's really nice when people lose people that they kind of band together." November 22, 1999
