DENVER (CNA) - Senator John McCain is paying his second visit to Colorado in less than a week and on this trip he is taking time to meet privately with Catholic Archbishop Charles Chaput of Denver.

After arriving in Denver on Tuesday, Sen. McCain spoke at a 6:25 p.m. fundraiser at the Cherry Hills Village home of investor Charlie Gallagher.

At 9:30 on Wednesday morning, John McCain and his wife Cindy met with Denver's Archbishop Charles Chaput. The archbishop described the meeting as private and told CNA that no comment would be forthcoming.

Following his meeting with the archbishop, the Republican presidential contender toured the Wagner Equipment Company in Aurora, CO.

Last week McCain was in Colorado to speak at the American GI Forum convention. He also stopped in Aspen and met with the Dalai Lama, who was there for a forum on Tibet.
