Summer has a soundtrack.
It’s the splash of a cannonball into a pool. The laughter of kids chasing each other through a park. The crack of a bat at a Little League game. The pages of a favorite book turning on a warm afternoon.
Across New Mexico, summer is a season of memories in the making.
It’s also a season of continued learning.
While school may be out, students across our state are participating in summer reading programs, visiting libraries, attending camps, and discovering new interests that will help shape their futures Read More

I’ve often thought the process of electing a Governor and Lt. Governor in NM resembles an arranged marriage.
In New Mexico, candidates for Governor and Lt. Governor are nominated separately in the primary election. They run separate campaigns, raise money through separate accounts, and develop their own strategies. Then, on primary election night, the winners are brought together to form a ticket. The marriage begins.
The Lt. Governor’s role during the general election campaign is limited. The gubernatorial candidate and campaign Read More

Fr. Glenn: Holding On
Fr. Glenn Jones:
As we experience often daily, it is becoming increasingly challenging to hold to true and ageless Christian principles. Faith often comes under attack by those advocating for the values of modern culture, which are often diametrically opposed to our faith. We hear often sometimes even from clerics: “The Church should get in touch with the times!”, those critics essentially believing that the values of the world should override even very clear teachings of the faith.

Each Party Depicts Voter Laws In Its Own Way: Here’s My View
The work done in politics and science is more alike than most would guess. But politics has a worsening handicap.
