Having been a staple in the Grove and the City of Pueblo, Our Lady of Mount Carmel had its beginnings as a national church for Italian immigrants, but soon became a magnet for anyone who wished to come to Mass. The community was started in the late 1800's by the priests of the Society of Jesus. The Church was built, and the parish was established in 1920. It still offers Mass in Spanish and English to the Roman Catholics of Pueblo.

Prevencion y Rescate a Catholic 12 Step Program for addicts and their families.

Prevencion and Rescate initially arose due to the high growth of alcoholism and drug addiction in society, our fundamental vision was to be in each place where there was this problem or families affected by this disease.

At first we were focused on just rescuing addicts and gang members that we found on the streets, but little by little we discovered that it was not enough to achieve personal sobriety, so our gaze was directed more to the reality of the addict's life. Because we were not only interested in rescuing him from the streets or from addiction, our goal was to embed him back into a social, cultural and spiritual life.

We wondered why the addict fell into this problem? And hearing testimonies from ourselves, we realized that the root of his problem began within the family itself, caused by abandonment, domestic abuse, materialism, parental alcoholism, sexual abuse, pornography, etc. and that all this led us to have dysfunctional families. It was then that Prevention and Rescue began to focus more on the families than on the addict himself, and we began to work on our family assemblies with the permission of the Parish priest so that through these assemblies we would have the opportunity to get to know the families better. of the addict.
