FATHER CHIKE:  Will be taking his annual vacation to Africa beginning on December 27th.  We have still not secured priests for all of the weekend Masses. If we cannot find anyone to offer Mass, we will be offering Sunday celebrations in the absence of a priest at some of our services.  We are sorry for the inconvenience, but we simply do not have enough priests.  Perhaps we can all join together in encouraging our young men to inquire about seminary.  Deacon Michael will offer daily communion services while Father Chike is gone. Funerals will continue as scheduled.  If you are in need of anointing, please call the office.

POSADAS: Las Posadas are a tradition of singing and prayer to find an “inn” for the birth of Jesus at a different home each night, usually belonging to our Parishioners, the ninth and final night at the Church. Please plan to attend this beautiful Parish tradition! If you have any questions please contact Deacon Michael at 505-340-0422 or deaconmichael@n-bvm.org or the Parish Office. 

ALTAR PICTURES:  If you have not taken your loved ones’ pictures home, please come to the Parish Office to pick those up. We have some photos without any contact information.  If these are yours, please come to the Parish Office. Thank you!

BIENAVENTURADOS ROSARY MINISTRY:  The Bienaventurados Rosary Ministry will be hosting a Posada for the Parish on Saturday, December 21st at 6 pm in place of their monthly meeting.  Please see the Posada schedule for details.  We hope to see everyone there!
