Cabrini's Cupboard
Cabrini’s Cupboard serves those in need by means of providing groceries and general assistance. The food pantry is kept stocked by the generosity of our parishioners. If you would like to drop off a food donation for the pantry, please do so in the blue collection bin just inside the double brown doors leading to the Parish Halls. Please remember to check the expiration dates before you drop off food items. We are unable to distribute items passed the expiration date. If you would like to make a financial contribution to the pantry for the purchase of pantry items or for our assistance fund, please drop this off in the main office and note on the check that it is for Cabrini’s Cupboard. Thank you for supporting our parish in this critical ministry.
Our Mission: To provide a quick and efficient method that connects those in need with those who would like to give.
Our Beliefs: We believe that expression of our love of God is shown in our care for others. We believe that we are called to do as Jesus did - to be people of the towel and water (cf. John 13:15)
To Request Assistance: Call Karen Hoeft at 303-953-7784.
CURRENT NEEDS INCLUDE: jelly, cereals, canned tuna, canned fruit, spaghetti sauce, breakfast and granola bars, diapers and wipes. Donations can be dropped off in the blue collection box just inside the double brown exterior entry doors to the Parish Hall. Your gifts of $10 grocery gift cards are greatly appreciated as they help families purchase milk, eggs, meats, other perishable items, and prescriptions. Gift cards should be dropped off in the main office.
Without your support, our shelves would be empty. Thank you for your generosity!

Our projects are founded on the Corporal Works of Mercy.
The works of mercy are charitable actions by which we come to the aid of our neighbor in his spiritual and bodily necessities. Instructing, advising, consoling, comforting are spiritual works of mercy, as are forgiving and bearing wrongs patiently. The corporal works of mercy consist especially in feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, clothing the naked, visiting the sick and imprisoned, and burying the dead. Among all these, giving alms to the poor is one of the chief witnesses to fraternal charity: it is also a work of justice pleasing to God:
He who has two coats, let him share with him who has none and he who has food must do likewise. But give for alms those things which are within; and behold, everything is clean for you. If a brother or sister is ill-clad and in lack of daily food, and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, be warmed and filled," without giving them the things needed for the body, what does it profit? - Catechism of the Catholic Church 2447
Rosary Makers
“The Rosary is a prayer both so humble and simple and theologically rich in Biblical content. I beg you to pray it”
Pope Saint John Paul II
Our next gathering will be on Tuesday, February 4th - Parish Hall C.
Mission: to supply rosaries to whoever needs one.
Are you interested in an outreach opportunity that spans the globe? This may be the one. Rosary Makers distributes over 17,000 rosaries per year. The Cabrini Rosary Makers (CRM) was started in the early 1990's by Loretta L. She had this great desire to have more rosaries prayed, so she wanted to supply those rosaries to people in need. We have wonderful volunteers to teach you how to make a rosary.
We meet to make rosaries so as to provide mission rosary supplies, to share in fellowship, to allow the Rosary Makers to drop off their rosaries made at home, to teach new members how to make rosaries, and to share special intentions before we pray the Rosary together. We are a family and continue to grow in membership. Not all the members are able to attend the meetings, but they remain part of our family.
Who benefits from our rosaries?
We try to distribute the rosaries to anyone who is in need of a rosary. We supply thousands of rosaries to the migrant workers in Colorado, the homeless, other Parishes who have no rosary making group and have needs for their Sacramental classes, several hospital Spiritual Care Departments, nursing homes, hospice homes, schools and at least one university for their "Lenten Survival Kits". We have connections with people in the United States who send rosaries out of the country to many poor areas, and through them we even have had our rosaries provided for World Youth Days and the US Military.
Rosary Repair
We are no longer able to repair any rosaries.
If you have questions, please contact Karen Lotspeich at klotspeich@sfcparish.org.
We meet on the first Tuesday of each month from 9:45 – 11:30am; no registration is required, and we usually meet in Parish Hall B.
All are welcome to join in praying the Rosary, led by fellow parishioners.
Monday – Friday; 8:15 am in the Church

Angel Bed Project
“Let the Little children come to me…” -Matt.19:14
Mission: The Angel Bed Ministry mission is to provide for those who are in a time of loss, and who do not have the financial means to afford a burial for their tiny babies. They provide at no charge a proper casket or as we like to call them Angel Beds, to assist these grieving families in giving their loved one’s dignity in their burial. They provide comfort for the parents and dignity and honor for these children of God. The Archdiocese of Denver Mortuary provides the services for stillbirths and miscarriages one per month. They work closely with our Loving hands ministry who give their time and talent to make pouches for the tiny babies and the fabric liners for the caskets. The materials are provided by the ministry such as: wood, paint, wood glue, and fabric. Primary recipients are anyone in the Archdiocese of Denver.
Donate: You can make a tax-deductible donation to help make a bed. Each bed cost is $45, but whatever you are called to donate will go a long way.
Volunteer: Requirements - like to work with your hands.
Opportunities: Range from experienced to beginner woodworker, various jobs include cutting, wood, routering, assembly, sanding, and painting.
Testimony: “It is an honor to be able to use my skills to provide such a comfort to grieving parents and family. I frequently pray while building the Angle Beds for God’s children that will be receiving this final resting place.” Rex S
