St. John Paul II chose the Mile High City to be the home of World Youth Day. The Knights used this Center to chaperone and provide 500 meals for 50 French-Canadian pilgrims over 5 days. In preparation of St. John Paul II’s visit, the Fourth Degree funded a $100,000 grant to restore the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. - 25th World Youth Day, August 1993 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd6989e3c1f627580a0b0ae/1616963961579-VAIK0AOOS34TIMS5EDKJ/Dance_%25232.jpg Our Story - As World War II raged, an ever increasing number of army personnel were stationed in Denver. In need of recreation facilities and accommodations, the Knights offered their home to the USO-NCCS. By 1944 over 600 volunteer workers accommodated 4,000 servicemen per month and entertained over 500,000 guests in our grand hall. - USO guests enjoy a ball in the Grand Hall, 1940s https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd6989e3c1f627580a0b0ae/1617075183675-XV2DPA2DYVOKHMM12R38/CorporateCommunion_1980.PNG Our Story - Still celebrated today, the 45th Communion Mass was one of the most outstanding public demonstrations of faith. Approximately 1,500 men would parade from Mass at the Cathedral Basilica to a post-Communion breakfast. In these walls, over 500 Knights and their families communed with a warm meal and were given instruction on Catholic Action. - Knights march to the Cathedral Basilica, 1977 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd6989e3c1f627580a0b0ae/1617939671545-KSGTYCHR6CH7DMXLZ15N/IMG_7832.JPG Our Story - Now branded the Denver Catholic Center, we have proudly supported countless ministries, fundraisers, wedding receptions, etc. The Knights still use the space to perform charitable activities and recently celebrated their 101st annual St. Patrick’s Day festival. - Bagpipe band at annual St. Patrick festival, 2019 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd6989e3c1f627580a0b0ae/1616961986221-TOJHWUHO8ZFWSTDV5EMW/Ku-Klux-Klan-Media-1.jpg Our Story - On October 27, 1923, Patrick Walker, a member of the Knights of Columbus was kidnapped by five Klansmen, taken to a remote place, and clubbed with the butts of revolvers. The Klan in Colorado peaked in 1925 infiltrating all levels of state government. Violently anti-Catholic, the Klan threatened to burn Regis Jesuit high-school. Using this center as a safe-haven, the Knights of Columbus banded together with students to form a human barrier to save the school. - Three Klan members burn a cross in Denver, 1920s https://denverhall.org/get-involved daily 0.75 2022-01-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd6989e3c1f627580a0b0ae/e387bfc6-51fd-4dfc-b4a0-17be58e350c5/Steven.jpg Donations - Make it stand out Stephen Sweeney - President, Reddin Inc. 501c3 management board https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd6989e3c1f627580a0b0ae/f7e000dc-0916-49fa-9a0d-8a5746d65dd2/Mark.jpg Donations - Make it stand out Mark Thomason - President, Home of Denver https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd6989e3c1f627580a0b0ae/1615007113493-XPFO6Q41MZE9YLOUGRCG/PageBreak_Left_%23CD6423.png Donations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd6989e3c1f627580a0b0ae/1615000535767-4U9XOSGFUANGBI9JBWES/Picture3.jpg Donations - Coats for Kids Each year we provide 100s of new coats to local Denver children in need through the Coats for Kids program.

Since 1892 this building has been serving the Denver community from supporting our WWII troops to sponsoring many charitable activities. At rates far lower than other downtown venues, this space is great for wedding receptions, fundraisers, parties, reunions, etc. Become part of the history! - Birds eye view of downtown Denver, 1912 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd6989e3c1f627580a0b0ae/1609284049764-628UNVVLCWV78JM7KLYR/CHS.J81.jpg History - Fletcher Mansion This property once bolstered a mansion built by Donald Fletcher, founder of the city of Aurora. The house, completed in 1892 at a cost in excess of $100,000, was built of Manitou red sandstone. According to the January 1, 1892 edition of The Rocky Mountain News, “none can surpass Mr. Fletcher’s residence in its beauty”. The estate consisted of a parlor finished in mahogany wood, library done in cherry wood, an art gallery with marble tile, four bedrooms and baths, reception hall finished in polished English oak, and several servants’ quarters. Stables and a large 45ft x 45ft hall adjoined the mansion. This hall was used as a gym and floored with light oak. The area, which contained a fully equipped stage, was also used for dances and theatrical performances. In the basement there was a bowling alley and 30-foot heated swimming pool. Mr. Fletcher lost considerable money during the panic of 1893 and the property stood vacant for several years. After many successive owners, including a dancing school, the Knights of Columbus purchased the property for $52,000 in 1919. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd6989e3c1f627580a0b0ae/1615174063353-3LVNNY9XCN3Q1D8FND86/IMG_7832.JPG History - Communio Hall is Born The Knights of Columbus are still the primary tenants and hold regular meetings. They use the space to perform charitable activities and recently celebrated their 100th annual St. Patrick’s Day festival. However, in 2016 Home of Denver took ownership as the holding company of the property. Reddin Inc., a 501(C)(3) non-profit, was designated as the managing body and currently rents the hall for family occasions, wedding receptions, family reunions, fundraisers, social gatherings, etc. In the midst of the COVID-19 global pandemic, Very Reverend Fr. Ron of the Cathedral Basilica was asked by Denver7, “What is the most challenging part of this pandemic?” He exclaimed, “What I miss the most is the community. Communio!” Taking his words to heart, the estate was re-branded to reflect a great need to build the Denver community. Thus; the Downtown Denver Catholic Center was born. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd6989e3c1f627580a0b0ae/1615007228706-6YMB52TRD5MMLT1MS9P4/PageBreak_Left_%23CD6423.png History https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd6989e3c1f627580a0b0ae/1609284395144-GCC9GN9MV7WAJAL9B6JQ/FallFestival_%25231_0001.jpg History - Knights of Columbus The main residence was used as the Knights of Columbus clubhouse until 1961. Unfortunately, decades of wear had taken a toll and building was rapidly deteriorating. Due to the high cost of maintenance, the main residence was torn down and a parking lot installed in its place. In 1963, a two-story 9,500 square foot office building was erected adjoining what is now the Grand hall. Featuring architecture of its time, the $145,000 structure included a bar which still operates to this day. Six major rooms were constructed including a lounge, reading room, billiards room, assembly hall, board room, and kitchen. Around this time a false ceiling was installed in the main hall to reduce heating and cooling costs. While the building has changed little since then, minor improvements continue to be made such as a finished outdoor patio and updated handicapped bathrooms. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd6989e3c1f627580a0b0ae/1615007329985-L75R2FC3QM0GOXN7KI13/PageBreak_Left_%23CD6423.png History https://denverhall.org/events daily 0.75 2021-04-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd6989e3c1f627580a0b0ae/1619495749054-8M45IELEY98FWI10VG26/20181006_221556.jpg Events - How will you get involved?
