The territory includes 39 parishes with approximately 173,321 Catholics in a total population of 1,083,259. Bishop Richard Hanifen created the diocesan arms which features a snow-capped purple mountain on a blue (azure) field that represents Pikes Peak. Below the mountain are green hills, and a blue and silver representing the spring for which the area and diocese are named. In the waters of the lower portion of the shield are three gold interlocked rings which represent the Holy Trinity.[1] Bishops
