With great joy, the Rocky Mountain Region of the Ecumenical Catholic Communion (ECC) called Mother Kae Madden as our first local Bishop. After a formal affirmation of her election by the entire ECC at our national Holy Synod in July of 2020, she was consecrated on September 19 of that year. ECC Presiding Bishop, Francis Krebs, presided at the service, held at Bethany Lutheran Church in Cherry Hills Village, CO.

It was an honor welcome our founding ECC Bishop Peter Elder Hickman and Bishops Kedda Keough (Pacific Northwest), Rafe Adams (Mid-America), Armando Leva (California), and Denise Donato (OPB Auxiliary), and to be joined by our ecumenical colleagues, Colorado Council of Churches Exec. Dir. Adrian Miller and Bishop Jim Gonia of the ELCA Rocky Mountain Synod.
