Similar Stories to Restoration Work Underway At On Iconic Capitol Hill Basilica on Bing News

It was a sign from above that told Father Ron Cattany that Denver’s iconic Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception was in need of some serious restoration work. Cattany — the pastor and rector of the basilica for the last year — was already planning to do some interior work, but in April, a stone grape cluster fell from about 20 feet, landing just in front of the entrance to the basilica. Fortunately, no one was standing beneath, but Cattany took it as a message that the exterior needed some serious attention as well. After starting construction at the Catholic basilica — on East Colfax Avenue and Logan Street in the Capitol Hill neighborhood — in September and launching a capital campaign in October, Cattany hopes the work will be done in about eight months, but he needs help paying for the project that is expected to cost in excess of $3.4 million.

  • Canadian Police Make Three Arrests in Sikh Separatist Slaying That Sparked Spat With India
    Time, Saturday - 05/04/2024 - 07:20 AM

    VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Canadian police said they arrested three suspects Friday in the slaying of a Sikh separatist leader last June that became the center of a diplomatic spat with India, and are investigating possible ties between the detainees and the Indian government. Three Indian nationals in their 20s identified as Kamalpreet Singh, Karan Brar and Karampreet Singh were arrested in Edmonton, Alberta on Friday morning in the slaying of 45-year-old Hardeep Singh Nijjar by masked gunmen outside Vancouver, police said. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau sparked a diplomatic feud with India in September when he said that there were “credible allegations” of Indian involvement in the slaying of Nijjar. India had accused Nijjar of links to terrorism, but angrily denied involvement in the slaying.
