Who We Are
ESTES PARK, Colo.—Our Lady of the Mountains parishioner Rob Pieper recalls standing outside the rustic church as a boy to hear Mass through open windows if his family arrived too late to get a seat inside.
“Before the church built on, it would be standing room only,” Pieper said about the log and stone structure set on a hill in Estes Park. The restaurant owner and parish committees member added he feels honored to have been part of the church’s history, off and on, for nearly 60 of its 75 years.
Our Lady of the Mountains Church will mark its 75th anniversary with a 10 a.m. Mass June 30 celebrated by Archbishop Samuel Aquila and concelebrated by the pastor, Father Faustinus Anyamele, as well as visiting priests and former pastors. The parish choirs will perform prior to the liturgy. After Mass, a jubilee plaque will be dedicated, followed by lunch and entertainment. (For planning purposes, an RSVP for the luncheon is required.)

“What we are celebrating is not necessarily the sanctuary or the structure or the stained glass,” Father Anyamele said. “But the dedication of a place set apart for the formation of souls. This parish has nurtured souls upon souls…. That is the whole essence of this celebration.”

We want everyone to feel welcome. That is the spirit that governs our parishioners: it’s in our mission statement,” said Father Anyamele. “We are focused on what unites us: assembling together in the house of God, answering to that invitation of love and participating in the Eucharistic banquet…. Allowing Christ to form us so we can go into the world and begin to act, so people can experience (Christ’s love) and give glory to God.”
