Who We Are
Mission House Denver stands in the gap to provide a context of belonging and authentic Catholic living for young men who want to be strong leaders in the Faith and who desire to build a culture of invitation to bring others into a fullness of life and abundance in Christ.
Mission House Denver is a place where these young men can live together and build a life of brotherhood, serve the Church and those the Church seeks to serve together, and be built up to live the life of mission and holiness to which all baptized Christians are called.
In October 2022, Mission House Denver was granted permission to function officially as a Catholic apostolate in the Archdiocese of Denver by Most Reverend Archbishop Samuel J. Aquila, S.T.L.

Staff: Founder & President
Joseph Trujillo is a Denver-raised Colorado Native. Between 2008 and 2021, Joseph spent 12 years as a firefighter & EMT, and has worked in various youth and young adult ministry roles from 2017 to the present, building up to his current role as a full-time missionary & founder of Mission House Denver.
Joseph has a deep love and passion for the outdoors and for encountering God in Creation. This led Joseph to become an Altum Institute Missionary for Annunciation Heights Youth & Family Camp in Estes Park, Colorado in 2021, and having had the desire for Mission House Denver in his heart, launched Mission House Denver upon completion of his missionary term in August 2022.
Joseph enjoys camping, fly-fishing, off-roading in his Jeep, playing recreational sports, board games, and building intentional relationships with those in his life. He seeks to grow in his love of the Lord and to contemplate the Father’s heart daily, and to bear the light of Christ to the world around him.
