By Deacon Cynthia Biddlecomb (ELCA), retired
Last Sunday was Trinity Sunday, the First Sunday after Pentecost. In many of our churches we change the paraments (banners, and frontispieces) from the red of Pentecost Sunday to the white used for a special Feast Day. But this annual feast day differs from others.
Trinity Sunday is about our theology, our understanding of the mystery of God. It addresses the basic doctrine of the Trinity held by the Christian Read More

United Way Northern New Mexico News:
David Meyerhofer first gave to United Way as a graduate student in Princeton, New Jersey. He wasn’t thinking about legacy or lineage. He wasn’t honoring a family name. He and his wife simply looked at the organization and liked what it stood for.
“My wife and I chose United Way because we liked their approach,” he says. “It wasn’t more complicated than that.”
That was the beginning of a giving habit that has lasted over four decades. What David didn’t know—what no one in Read More

Fr. Glenn: The Triune One
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Had a funeral yesterday—a weekly, if not even daily, occurrence in many parishes. Sometimes there are family members who do not get along for this or that reason (sadly, often due to bickering over mere things or inheritance), but it’s always nice when there seems to be an absence of that as we had yesterday, with all the family embracing and rejoicing in the love of one another. As our society changes and relatives become scattered to the various states and even countries, we love when we can rejoice in that common bond of family which unites us.
I was thinking of that as we move from Read More

Op-Ed: Be Forewarned…
By CHRISTINA STAFFORD
White Rock
Be Forewarned … the signs of N.M. 4 work beginning 5/28/26. It actually started today 5/29/26. The state is repaving. That’s great! HOWEVER, do they EVER plan for a temporary lane? What about Emergency Response events?
With only one road in and out of White Rock (without going through the Jemez, or possessing a LANL badge), this is not just inconvenient, it is dangerous and not well planned for.
May I remind the community, we are currently at a Stage 2 FIRE RESTRICTION! Judging from my sitting at a standstill this morning (9:20 a.m.), what provisions have been made Read More

Fr. Glenn: Good Service
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
We had ordinations yesterday—two young men ordained as Catholic priests for the Archdiocese of Santa Fe. While such ordinations are a time for rejoicing in the Church, priests know, too, that it is an undeserved honor and privilege—the most undeserved of all—to be called to priesthood. Like the apostles, there is nothing particularly special about such men; indeed, sometimes we wonder “Why him, O Lord?”. After all, most priests and deacons tend not to be great scholars or particularly outstanding in any sort of worldly way. For example, here in our Archdiocese we have men Read More
