+ About Fr. Rocco
I was ordained a deacon for Archdiocese of Denver on May 31st, 1996 and ordained a priest on May 31st, 1997. Before that, I attended Conception Seminary College for undergrad from 1988-1991, went to St. Thomas Seminary in Denver from 1991-1993, then received my Masters of Divinity from Mundelein Seminary in Illinois. My first assignment was at Queen of Peace in Aurora where I served for four years. Then I was assigned as pastor at St Peter's in Greeley from 2001 to 2011. I did campus ministry at UNC. I was then assigned to St. John XXIII in Fort Collins in 2011 and served there until 2022. I was pastor and did campus ministry for CSU during that time. I was assigned to Christ the King in August 2022 and am happy to serve the community here as pastor.
+ABOUT Fr. Tom
father.thomas@christthekingdenver.org
Thomas P. Kuffel, a priest for 33 years now working in the Archdiocese of Denver as parochial victor at Christ the King. I was born in Milwaukee and lived there till I graduated from Marquette University. From there I went on a mission trip to New Mexico and discerned a vocation to the priesthood. I studied in Rome at the Angelicum and then after ordination was a priest in the Lincoln Diocese. After 25 years in Lincoln, I ministered in the diocese of Fairbanks and after six years working in Fairbanks and the remote villages, I returned to the lower 48 States.
+ABOUT Fr. Moloney
Fr. Moloney is a priest for the Archdiocese of Boston. Before his ordination in 2010, he taught in the Department of Philosophy at Notre Dame, was a lecturer in the Department of Politics at Princeton, worked at think tanks in Princeton, Washington, D.C., and New York, and from 1998 to 2001 served as the associate editor of First Things.
Fr. Moloney wrote his dissertation on the topic of mercy as it appears in ancient times, in medieval natural theology (especially St. Anselm of Canterbury), in contemporary political philosophy, and in contemporary theories of criminal punishment. His research and teaching interests are in soteriology, Christian anthropology and the human person (especially as the subject of holiness), anger (and the role of the passions more broadly), divine and human justice, pastoral theology—basically anything that involves “righting wrongs” (the scope of the virtue of mercy).
His most recent publication is Mercy: What Every Catholic Should Know (Ignatius Press; Augustine Institute, 2020).

+ About Deacon Quoc

+ About Deacon David
My name is Deacon David Mumby, and I was born at Memorial Hospital in South Bend, Indiana to the parents of Dave and Angela Mumby. As a child I attended St. Hedwig Catholic School and Parish in South Bend Indiana from Kindergarten through 4th Grade and in 5th Grade I attended St. Patrick’s School and Parish in South Bend. From 6th Grade we moved to the city of Mishawaka, Indiana where I attended Mary Phillips Grade School, Main Jr. High School, and my Freshman year I attended Mishawaka High School. The summer after my Freshman year my family and I moved to Dos Palos, California and I graduated from Dos Palos High School in 1975. Prior to my senior year, I decided to use the Delayed Enlistment Program, and joined the US Navy in December of 1975. I completed Navy Basic Training at San Diego, California and then went to Groton, Connecticut for my Basic Submarine School. I was then assigned to the USS Plunger SSN 595, a fast attack submarine which was based in San Diego, California. While serving on the USS Plunger, I was sent to Store Keeper A School in Meridian, Mississippi.
While at the Store Keeper A School, we learned all aspects of Submarine Supply. After leaving the Navy in 1980, I returned home to help my father run our family owned Hardware Store “Mumby Hardware Inc” in Dos Palos, California. My wife Mishelle and I met while working on our local Volunteer Ambulance Company and we both attended Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Dos Palos. We were married on January 11, 1986 and we have two grown children, Michael Lawrence and Sarah Angela (Mumby) McCall. Michael and Natalie have two children, Charolette and Sydney and Sarah, who married Dustin, have one child, Nevaeh.
Mishelle and I began teaching CCD early in our married life and Mishelle was the Director of Religious Education and I taught Sacramental Preparation including Confirmation. Our Diocese of Fresno did not have a Diaconate Formation Program until our Bishop John Steinbock instuted the New Wine Program, our prerequisite program for Diaconate Formation. I was Ordained a Deacon, January, 11, 2003 for the Diocese of Fresno, California. In September of 2013 Mishelle and I moved to Aurora, Colorado, and was assigned to Christ the King Catholic Church.
+ About Kili
Coming to Christ the King is a bit of a homecoming for Mrs. Hady; ten aunts and uncles attended school at CK in the 50s, 60s, and 70s. Her dad graduated in the class of 1968 and her grandfather built the rectory. She attended Mass here with her family as a child, and she is exceedingly proud to continue her family legacy as the leader of the school.
Mrs. Hady attended Saint Mary College in Leavenworth, Kansas, where she earned her Bachelor’s in Sociology and Political Science. Soon after college, she returned to Colorado to be with family and earned her Master’s in Elementary Education and eventually a second Master’s degree in Educational Leadership.
With a career that has led her through classrooms and administration offices of both public and Catholic schools, Mrs. Hady has observed a notable difference between the two: Love. Love is palpable in the classrooms, courtyards, and hallways of a Catholic school. Catholic educators possess an intrinsic motivation to truly connect, inspire, and educate the whole child—mind, body, and spirit.
Mrs. Hady and her husband are boastful fourth-generation Colorado natives and proud parents of two beautiful daughters. They love to frequent Grand Lake and Shadow Mountain where they swim, boat, hike, camp, and lounge through the summer; and snowmobile, play basketball and occasionally whine about the lack of sunlight in the winter.
+ About Gwyn
Greetings. Gwyn Duke here born and raised in Alabama. After becoming Catholic back in 1987, I have joyfully served the Church most of my adult life in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and in the past 20 years in the Archdiocese of Denver. I was given the opportunity to be the pastoral assistant at Our Lady of the Mountains in Estes Park and now at Christ the King. I enjoy hiking, traveling, reading and adventure. I am grateful to be here, in this vibrant parish family and look forward to sharing the peace and truth of the Faith with each of you as we meet.
+ About Roberta
rmarsh@ChristTheKingDenver.org
Roberta Marsh, our Faith Formation Director, comes to us from a wide range of experiences working primarily in parishes in the area of religious education. Her love for the Catechism, family-based faith formation, and evangelization, brings a depth of knowledge and a passion for helping parents understand and live out their role as the primary educators of their children in the Faith, and to help them build up a Catholic culture in the home where Christ is known and loved above all things. Colorado has been her home since the early 1980’s with her husband, Dana and son, Paul.
Roberta loves to go cycling in Cherry Creek State Park, take an occasional hike in the mountains, and listen to great music.
+ About Marybeth
mbpage@ChristTheKingDenver.org
Marybeth Page was born and raised on the East Coast but landed in Colorado and couldn’t be more grateful. Marybeth didn’t find her purpose until stumbling upon a beautiful picture of Our Lady in St. Stephen’s Cathedral in Vienna. This led to pursuing a degree in Theology, which led to working for the Church. She has worked for Catholic Charities USA, for a national Catholic pro-life organization, for the Metropolitan Tribunal and as a Catholic school Theology teacher.
+ About John
jprager@ChristTheKingDenver.org
John Prager is a Colorado native. He began his duties at Christ the King as Music Director in 2020. John grew up playing music, focusing on piano but also saxophone, bass guitar, and voice. He received an MM in Piano Performance from the University of Denver Lamont School of Music. John enjoys exploring the vast body of music written for the Catholic Church and bringing it to the parishioners of Christ the King every Sunday. He currently leads the 10AM Adult Choir and the Children’s Choir.
+ About Heidi
Heidi is a Denver native—in fact, she grew up just four blocks away from Christ the King! Before graduating from Arizona State University, she spent her junior year at the University of Salzburg (her favorite year in college). After college, she worked in sales for Nestle Food Service before she and her husband started their family. Many years and two grown daughters later, Heidi still loves her job at CK. When she’s not at Christ the King, you’ll find her enjoying the mountains, playing golf or pickleball, and spending time with family and friends.
She loves the Colorado mountains for hiking and biking in the summer and skiing in the winter. But really, her favorite activity is traveling the world.
She is so grateful to be a part of this amazing CK community. She loves her peers, parents and of course, the children who all make her job the best.
+ About Grace
Grace assists the business manager in the weekly processing of offertories, payables and deposits for both the church and the school. She loves to read, garden and travel. She also enjoys murder mysteries and interior decorating and has been doing accounting for 30 years.
