Traffic might have been a little lighter going to work on Monday on some Colorado roadways, since state employees had a paid holiday. So did some other workers, including Adams County staff. But an informal on-the-street survey in Colorado Springs showed most people were unaware of Monday’s holiday. For the third year, the first Monday in October was observed as Mother Cabrini Day.
“I didn’t know anything about it. I was like, ‘What?’” said Marcus May, who was sitting with his buddy on a downtown bench. It was business as usual for the postal service, banks, most businesses and other government agencies. Even the staff at the Catholic Diocese of Colorado Springs didn’t have Monday off. “Somewhat ironically, we are open,” spokeswoman Veronica Ambuul said.
