Fr. Glenn: The Big Three
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Many non-Christians (and even Christians who have not been well instructed) are often curious about many of the teachings of Christianity—terms, principals, theology, etc. Today (6/4/23), and every first Sunday after Pentecost, we Catholics celebrate the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity—this greatest and most difficult mystery of our faith to contemplate. And to call it a “mystery” does not mean that the answer does not exist, but rather that humanity cannot find the answer in fullness, but like a treasure hunt that never ends, are given only clues to its ultimate solution Read More

Do you have so much stuff you have forgotten what you have? A good rule of thumb is if you haven’t used it in a year – you don’t need it. Be realistic. Take a hard look at each item in your home. Identify the things that are most useful or loved and keep those but if you haven’t used something in more than a year, give it to family / friends, sell it, donate it, or throw it away.
Gift family and friends, sell items you don’t need and donate items. Doing this helps to clear space, and there’s satisfaction in knowing that your old items will benefit others.

So, there I was, chugging along, getting an Associates Degree in applied science, when I stumbled across the Sustainable Technologies degree at Santa Fe Community College and got to thinking: I could spend the rest of my life learning about Sustainability! Although I didn’t switch my major, I’m still in love, and delight in the joy Read More

New Mexico House of Representatives
Like many people, I have watched with growing alarm as state legislatures in places like Texas, Florida, and Nebraska pass laws rolling back hard-fought freedoms and rights for the LGBTQ+ community. As a New Mexico lawmaker, I knew my colleagues and I had a responsibility to prevent the same thing from happening here.
Over the last several months, we have heard from constituents, community members, and advocates worried that they or someone they love might suddenly lose access to life-saving healthcare Read More

Our vegetable garden has changed over the years. Originally, it was quite varied but after years of harvesting vegetables we did not routinely eat, we began to scale back and focus on staples that were part of our everyday menus. It turned out to be a life saver! Our garden produced enough food to keep our entire family fed during the empty grocery store pandemic scarcity. I learned at my Grandmother’s side how to dry, can, freeze and package food for long-term storage and it turned out to be Read More
