I love to preach and teach and to initiate people into the joy of a relationship with Jesus Christ and His Church. 

Father Nick Larkin was ordained a priest of the Archdiocese of Denver on May 13, 2017 by Archbishop Samuel Aquila. He served as parochial vicar of Our Lady of Loreto Parish in Foxfield, CO from June 2017 through September 2019. Since October of 2019 he has served as pastor of Assumption Parish. 

Father Nick enjoys teaching the faith, whether it be from the pulpit, in RCIA, or giving talks or speaking at parish missions. He is very involved in the Pro-Life Movement, praying and lobbying for the end of abortion and the protection of the unborn. Additionally he is passionate about men's ministry, believing the future of the Church depends on getting men to take up their mantle of spiritual leadership. 

His hope is to see Assumption Parish grow in love for the Holy Eucharist, devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, and more regularly recourse to the Sacrament of Penance. The promotion of priestly and religious vocations is an essential charism of the parish that he fosters among the community. In addition to our great parish patroness, Our Lady of the Assumption, the parish has adopted the following secondary patrons: St. Maximilian Kolbe and St. John the Evangelist who intercede for a culture of fostering vocations. 

Father Nick loves reading theology and spiritual classics, as well as cycling, fly-fishing, and sipping good whiskey with friends. 

He supports and advises several apostolates throughout the Archdiocese of Denver, including: Souls of the Christian Apostolate, the Aquinas Forum, the Denver Catholic Women’s Conference and the Denver Catholic Men’s Conference. He has also recently served as chaplain for several youth and young adult apostolates including: Totus Tuus and Mountain Madness.
