• Building a Community of Faith for Families at Light of the World Parish (denvercatholic.org) — Light of the World Parish in Littleton is expanding a family-focused faith formation program that helps parents prepare children for sacraments while building friendships with other local families. Through Sunday Mass, shared breakfasts, childcare, and small-group discussions, parish leaders aim to turn Baptism from a one-time requirement into the start of long-term community support and deeper spiritual growth for Littleton-area parents and kids.
   

• Volleyball Recap: Littleton Edges Past Regis Groff (maxpreps.com) — Littleton High School's volleyball team snapped a five-game losing streak by edging Regis Groff 2-1, powered by standout performances from setter Lexi Jacobs and defender-server Sophelia Wright. The Lions quickly returned to the court the next day, falling 3-0 to Vista PEAK Prep, but their Littleton win showed promising teamwork and resilience for the rest of the season.
