Our History
Our Lady of Peace was founded in 1948 to meet the spiritual needs of the growing Hispanic community in Greeley, who previously had limited access to Mass in Spanish. Archbishop Vehr appointed Father Dominic Morera to lead the effort, and after years of fundraising and community effort—including bake sales, dances, and family donations—the church was dedicated on July 8, 1948. Named for its symbolism of peace after WWII, the parish has grown to serve diverse families across generations.
Ministries
The parish ministries strive to assist parishioners in attaining a deeper relationship with our Lord and with fellow parishioners, by helping them to recognize their unique spiritual gifts, as well as, to understand the particular mission the Lord is calling them to for His Church. The mission of the ministries is to share talents, to deepen faith, to serve one another, the parish, the community, and above all else…the LORD.
