The Diocese of Pueblo split off from the Archdiocese of Denver in the late 1940 and what is now the Diocese of Diocese of Colorado Springs split off from the Diocese of Pueblo in 1983. The Dioces of Pueblo covers approximately the lower 1/3 of the State which includes about 70 parishes. The Diocese of Pueblo currently has 8 men in formation for the priesthood.

A new Bishop, the Most Reverend Fernando Isern, was installed as Bishop of Pueblo in December of 2009. One of the Changes that Bishop Isern has made to the Seminary program for the Diocese of Pueblo is to have Pueblo become involved with the New Ecumenism and currently two Seminarians associated with the Diocese of Colorado Springs are in their first year of Studies at the Redemptoris Mater Seminary in Denver.
