Historic Site
About St. Catherine of Siena Chapel:
Over the years, thousands of visitors have stopped at St. Catherine of Siena Chapel to pray and to enjoy its simplicity and beauty. It is framed against the majestic Mt Meeker – 13,911 feet. In 1999 Boulder County designated the chapel an Historic Site. The tabernacle, the large crucifix, and the sanctuary lamp have been in use in the chapel since the first mass was offered in 1935.
In 1993, Denver was blessed to be the host of World Youth Day with Pope John Paul II. While in Colorado, the pope visited Camp St. Malo, hiked up Cabin Creek, visited and prayed at St. Catherine of Siena Chapel, and then, visited with the cheering crowd lined up on Highway 7.
The Archdiocese of Denver recently concluded a restoration project to preserve the beauty and rich history of the Chapel on the Rock, the Pope Saint John Paul II trail and a new visitor and heritage center.
