PASTOR’S CORNER
Fr. Joseph Cao’s Bio
Joseph Thai M. Cao was born in Vietnam of Catholic parents (Mr. & Mrs. Kiem Cao) in 1964. He is the
second oldest of eight children (5 boys and 3 girls). Growing up in Vietnam, he was taught by the Dominican Sisters until he and his family fled Vietnam when the Communists took over the whole country.
He felt a call to become a priest at a very young age when he made his First Communion (at 7 years old). After receiving First Holy Communion, Joseph knelt down in his pew and he heard Jesus speak to his heart,
and Jesus gave Joseph a great desire to be a priest. This great desire stayed with him for most of his young life. His parents signed him up to serve at Mass when he was in the 3rd grade. Joseph loved to serve Mass.
Every Saturday night he would spend the night at the Rectory in order to ring the church bells to alert people for Mass. Mass begins at 4:30 am, so the servers would ring the church bells around 4am. It took
about 3 or 4 boys to pull the rope to ring the bells. This began his vocation to the priesthood.
On April 30, 1975, the Communists took control of the whole country of Vietnam. This led to many Vietnamese fleeing the country to find freedom. Some got out by helicopters, but most fled by boats.
Joseph and his family (his mom, grandmother, and the 6 kids at that time) boarded a fishing boat, owned by his uncle, and headed out to sea. The 20-foot boat had about 60 people on board, consisted mostly of women and children. They were packed in like sardines. Their boat was shot at, but miraculously, no one
was injured. After several days on the sea, and not knowing where they were heading, they ran out of food and water. The weather was extreme (very hot and sunny during the day but cold and wet at night).
After 5 days on the sea, they were rescued by an American cargo ship.
The cargo ship took the refugees to the island of Guam, where they stayed for 2 weeks before relocating to the refugee camp at Ft. Chaffee, Arkansas. Joseph’s family ended up staying at Ft. Chaffee for about 7
months, where they learned English and got acclimated to living in a new country. In December of 1975, an American family, who were living in Aurora, Colorado, sponsored the Cao family to live in Colorado. About 8
months later, they were joined by their dad and grandfather, who successfully escaped Vietnam to reunite with their family. Joseph grew up and went to school in the Denver area, ultimately he finished college in
the field of Electronic Engineering. This was not his calling in life. Joseph was unable to find a job as an engineer.
In the summer of 1993, Saint John Paul II came to Denver for World Youth Day. With the presence of a
saint, Joseph’s dream of being a priest was rekindled. After attending World Youth Day 1993, Joseph was sent to Conception Seminary College at Conception, Missouri, to begin his study for the priesthood. After
two years at Conception, Joseph was sent to Mundelein Seminary near Chicago, Illinois, to study theology. Joseph completed seminary formation in May of 2000 and was ordained a Priest for the Archdiocese of
Denver on July 1, 2000. His first assignment as a priest was at St. Mary in Littleton. Over the last 13 years,
Fr. Joseph has been the Pastor at St. Joan of Arc in Arvada. Fr. Joseph is eager to begin new adventures as Pastor of Our Lady of the Mountains.

POPE FRANCIS’ INTENTIONS FOR:
June 2016 Universal: That the aged, marginalized, and those who have no one may find–even within the huge cities of the
world–opportunities for encounter and solidarity.
Evangelization: That seminarians and men and women entering religious life may have mentors who live the joy of the
Gospel and prepare them wisely for their mission.

Interceding For Our Lady of the Mountains
Parish
In the midst of helping to renew our Parish as the Lord’s Amazing Parish, we have Adoration of Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament.
Wonderful Wednesday Adoration will be Every Wednesday 9:15 AM until 12 Noon
SPIRITUAL BOUQUET
Spiritual Bouquets are groups of prayers or sacrifices or devotional offerings or “flowers” in love or appreciation or
intercession for another. They can be as simple as a Glory Be, or a Hail Mary, or a Rosary, or a Litany, or a series of Masses,
etc. But when taken together, they become a fragrant bouquet, spiritually
offered to God for a particular purpose or intention: Father’s Day (including our own
fathers, husbands, fathers-in-law, sons, brothers, uncles, etc.). There is a unique grace in fatherhood. Let us be sure to recognize, thank and bless them for the
life-giving impact they continue to have on the lives of each of us, be they living or
deceased.
If you wish, Father’s Day Spiritual Bouquet of Masses are available in the
church pews. We will remember and offer Holy Mass for them throughout the month
of June.
RESPECT LIFE ARTICLE
Life and Death
An unborn baby has a measurable heartbeat at twenty-one days and brainwaves at forty days — long before the earliest abortions. What do you call it when there is no longer a heartbeat or brainwaves? Death! What do you call it when there is a heartbeat and brainwaves? Life! So, what does abortion do? ONLINE GIVING
Our Lady of the Mountains offers online giving! You now have the ability to make one-time or recurring
online donations to OLM and our various funds
through our website.

SANCTUARY CANDLE INTENTION
Please consider honoring a loved one by having the Sanctuary Candle lit in their honor.
A wax candle, generally in a red glass container, kept burning day and night wherever the Blessed Sacrament is reserved in Catholic churches or chapels. It is an emblem of Christ's abiding presence and a reminder to the faithful to respond with loving adoration in return.
MARIAN MACQUETTE
Visitors and Parishioners, you have an opportunity to
purchase a beautiful bronze 17” statue of Our Blessed
Mother Mary to grace your home or that of a loved one.
It has been designed and created by well-known artist
and parishioner, Herb Mignery. The statue is a limited
edition macquette (25) of the original Mary statue which
is in the Meditation Garden through the generosity of a
local parish family. The cost of the macquette is $1,700
of which $700 is a tax deductible contribution to Our
Lady of the Mountains Church Preservation Fund. You
