Please help us welcome Fr. Christian Vaca to the Mater Filius Team as our chaplain! Bishop James Golka ordained Father Christian Vaca to the Order of Priesthood on June 7, 2025. Father Vaca is a native of Guadalajara, Mexico, who completed his theology studies at Mount St. Mary’s Seminary in Emmitsburg, Maryland. His first assignment in Colorado Springs is as parochial vicar at St. Gabriel the Archangel Parish. We are grateful for Fr. Christian’s wisdom and guidance! Welcome Father Christian!
Tragically, we recently lost a beautiful, young team member from our Child Enrichment Program. Paulina Garcia, who left this world on October 16, 2025, following a serious automobile accident, was a bright, warm, and joyful 18-year old woman, who worked part time with our babies and toddlers. Her legacy will live on as we honor her incredible idea of creating stickers for computers, water bottles, letters, etc. She loved working at Mater Filius, and her family had a memorial fund set up in her name for Mater Filius Colorado Springs. We are forever grateful for Paulina’s presence at MFCS and ask that you keep Paulina and her family in your prayers at this incredibly difficult time. In Honor and Memory of Paulina Garcia
