What does winning the raffle mean to our winners?
Sheri Welch, Fort Collins, CO
October Early Bird Prize: Napa Valley
“When we won the raffle the first time we were rewarded by making a more personal connection with the Capuchins. We believe that they are truly doing God’s work with their various ministries. Through these connections we even went to the Holy Land with Father Joseph, Decaon Hal and other supporters. We buy raffle tickets as a way to continue to support them. Winning the Napa trip is just the maraschino cherry on top of valued friendships!”
Michael La Forge, Colorado Springs, CO
November Early Bird Prize: Barbados
“Winning the raffle presents a great opportunity to my family and I to explore a wonderful place we wouldn’t typically have the luxury to plan for. We very much look forward to visiting a magnificent warm beach place, (especially during a cold Colorado March) that carries with it an interesting and long history. I appreciate what the Capuchins do for me and my community. I attend mass at the Citadel mall location and am grateful they offer this service which enables me to hear and contemplate the word and receive communion and the great joy that comes from that.”
Mary Catherine Lundgard, Los Gatos, CA
Buy 3 Tickets: Fall Colors of Vermont
“Winning the raffle has given me the chance to reflect upon my great and steadfast appreciation and gratitude for friends and family. First and foremost, I’d like to say thank you to the Capuchins, for their daily work in helping people in need and for their warm welcome each time we visitedDenver. As the niece of the late Father Thomas More Janecek, the Capuchins have been a great presence in our lives since as early as I can remember. I have been blessed with a large Janecek family and we just had a fantastic mini reunion last week. My uncle and his siblings were very close and as a result our generation has also remained close. My cousins were as excited to hear about my trip to Vermont as I am! Thank you again to the Capuchins and their supporters for this wonderful chance to visit Vermont.”

Buy 5 Tickets: Greek Island Adventure
“Winning the trip to Greece in the Road to Rome Raffle fulfills a life-long dream I’ve had to visit this beautiful country. It has been a double blessing in that it comes by way of supporting the Capuchin Franciscans, a community that is close to my heart and that does so much incredible work among the poor and suffering.“
Molly Keech, Denver, CO
Grand Prize: Italy Dream Vacation!
“Winning the Road to Rome raffle is a dream come true! This trip gives us the opportunity to celebrate our 12 year wedding anniversary and the abundance of blessings God has given us throughout our marriage. Also, my family is from Italy and we look forward to walking in the footsteps of my ancestors and experiencing the rich Italian culture. We are so grateful for the amazing work of the Capuchins and they will always hold a very special place in our hearts! Thank you so much!”
