look favorably on our prayers and grant that as Vicar of Christ on earth, he may be a source of guidance and
strength for your Church." Amen

Some nice features include being able to join ministries and being able to communicate with each other within the different ministries to stay up to date on what is happening.
We will be able to work together across all four of our churches for major projects and be informed on how we can help or join in.

World Day of Prayer for Vocations
As you know, Our Catholic Church is hurting for priests. This is a world wide issue. It affects us all.
Just in the United States we have 3,500 parishes that are now without a resident priest.
In 1973 there were 58,000 priests in the United States, the average age was thirty-five, and only 10 percent were over the age of sixty-five. Today there are 37,000 priests in the United States, the average age is sixty-four, and 40 percent are over the age of sixty-five.
In our Diocese we have 46 priests who will retire in 15 years.
Remember: No Priest, No Sacraments

Confirmation was amazing!
With 24 Confirmandi from our Parish and 11 Confirmandi from our neighbor Parish, St Alice in Mountainair, the church was packed!
What a blessing to have so many youth confirming their faith.
Let’s offer our support and encouragement to all of them.
