The event is designed to offer something many couples say is hard to find: honest, practical conversations about real-life relationships.

Fr. Glenn: Good For The Soul
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
I came across a pretty good series on Prime the other day called “Genius”, in which four seasons cover some notable persons in history—specifically the lives of Einstein, Picasso, Aretha Franklin and Martin Luther King, Jr. The season covering Picasso focused largely on his many romantic relationships and rather hedonistic lifestyle, which resulted in much angst, anger, sadness and chaos in Picasso’s life and the lives of his various wives, mistresses and their resulting children. As the series progresses, the viewer can’t help but wonder if the real Picasso had many regrets Read More

In this Easter Season, we tell the gospel stories in which the resurrected Jesus came to be among his apostles. He first needed to calm them down with the words, “Peace be with you”, here Read More

Fr. Glenn: Hail The King!
Fr. Glenn Jones:
A very blessed and happy Easter and Easter season to all of you! And we ask for the same for the whole world. In these days of strife and division, what could be better than to have Jesus, the Prince of Peace, risen again to bring kindness, graciousness and charity to the hearts of all?
Ah, but what Catholic term as “concupiscence”—the “stain” of the turning away from God in Original Sin remaining even after baptism—keeps tending to weigh us down like a stone. How is it manifest? By our never-absent bickering, hatreds, jealousies, selfishness, along with all the negativities that Read More

McQuiston: Driving In Los Alamos Is Unlike Anywhere Else
By ALLEN MCQUISTONJemez Insurance Agency
Serving Los Alamos Since 1963
Los Alamos isn’t just a town, it’s a landscape. The roads wind through canyons, hills, and mesas, where weather and wildlife create challenges that outsiders rarely anticipate. Even seasoned locals sometimes underestimate how quickly conditions can change.

You might leave your house on a clear street only to encounter ice a few blocks away. Shaded roads, canyon curves, and higher elevations mean frost and slick spots appear suddenly. Locals know the worst trouble spots: Diamond

An Open Book: At The Passover Seder Table
By DAVID IZRAELEVITZ
Los Alamos

She was famous for her pepper-infused boiled fish balls, or gefilte fish, a dish as much a part of the Passover season as a recital of Handel’s Messiah is to Christmas observance.
Having grown up without the benefit of extended family nearby, I found those multigenerational gatherings of grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins Read More
