Letter To The Editor: Roundabout Misconception
By TONY AMSDEN I would like to clarify a misconception in the letter from Mr. Dowden (link), and add a bit of history:

The important point is that NMDOT was NEVER in favor of an RDB at that location (or anywhere on that highway), and proposed a simple signalized intersection a number

Fr. Glenn: Love And Self-Sacrifice
By Rev. Glenn JonesAs we come to Holy Week—the week which precedes Easter Sunday—there are many events upon which Christians focus: the Last Supper of Jesus with His apostles on Holy Thursday, His Passion (from the Latin “passio”, meaning “suffering”), His death from crucifixion, His entombment, and His resurrection early on Easter Sunday morning. Christians, of course, believe these events to be quite literal and quite historical, and Jesus’ resurrection is the very basis of our hope in life after physical death.
Of course, many don’t Read More

History Of The Crucifix At IHM
The crucifix on the alter at Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church in Los Alamos. Photo by Elise LeeFor more than 2000 years the Roman Catholic Church has had the crucifix—a figure of Jesus crucified on a cross—as the focal point on the altar for believers as we enter our basilicas, cathedrals, shrines, churches, or chapels.
The crucifix is situated near or on the altar, and Catholics “bless themselves” by making a sign of the cross with holy water and bending the knee at the foot of the cross in reverence to Christ. The crucifix is a visible reminder of the Read More
Pastor Raul Granillo: Save Us, Our King!
By PASTOR RAUL GRANILLOA very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.
