Fr. John Book Signing At Saint Job of Pochaiv
Saint Job of Pochaiv News:
Many know Father John Hennies, also known as Ronald, from his years serving the community here in Los Alamos.
He was often seen in Starbucks or other venues around town, always offering a big smile and infectious laugh. Two years ago, he and his wife, Leona “Anna Lee”, moved back to South Dakota to retire and be closer to family there.
An Examined Life by Father John Hennies
Father John has since published a book of his poetry and prose entitled, An Examined Life. His writing is beautiful, poignant, and draws from his varied and vibrant life.
Father John will be visiting again Read More

A growing group of researchers within evolutionary biology seeks to put new emphasis on a set of ideas that differ considerably from the gene-centric viewpoint of Neo-Darwinism. In the Neo-Darwinian view Read More
Fr. Glenn: Honor And Integrity
By Rev. Glenn JonesSigh. A recent headline: “University Fires a Dean Over Falsified M.B.A. Rankings Data”. Another: “New Mexico Secretary of State…Pleads Guilty to Fraud”. And another: “Scientist Falsified Data for Cancer Research”. These and similar headlines often dominate the news cycles these days; one can’t help but wonder how much goes unreported, and even undiscovered.
Honor and integrity are foundational virtues, and yet seem much diminished in our day. We see this in many modern arenas. Skewed reporting is making “news”
Fr. Glenn: Pride Of Service
By Rev. Glenn JonesI have a headache.
No, it’s not a particular difficult person or problem. Actually, I’m quite lucky; I might get a headache twice a year, and even then they’re not bad, and don’t last long. I always felt sorry for the chronic migraine folks.
But … I wonder if this one is not sourced in the constant barrage of politics and vitriol in the news and in the (anti-) social media. “This woman is the devil!” … or “That guy is evil incarnate!” Okie dokey. Ah, well … we can always turn off the TV, the computer, the tablet and the cellphone.

Fr. Glenn: Do Unto Others…
By Rev. Glenn JonesEveryone be safe this week; most of LA county is in “exceptional” drought condition and we sure don’t need any fires to mar the holiday (or at any time, for that matter!). Save the little poppy and sparky things for the New Year, or at least ‘til we get a good rain. We’re heading into the monsoon season, so hopefully we’ll get a bit before long. Keep on a’prayin’!
Well, we celebrate Independence Day this week, and it’s always a time for reflection and thanksgiving. Lots of contentious politics in the air this year … but isn’t there Read More

Fr. Glenn: Seasoning The Insipid
By Rev. Glenn JonesAh … the slippery slope. It seems we hardly go a day anymore without hearing extreme vulgarity of language in the news—by celebrities, and even by our elected and appointed government officials. There seems to be a contest in crudity. To be honest, I thought—or, at least, hoped—people would be fairly repulsed by such coarseness and puerile behavior by now, but … alas… apparently not. Since our public conversation and news cycles have descended into recent carpet f-bombing—the incessant use of that Queen Mother of all dirty

Fr. Glenn: A(nother) Fiery Father’s Day
By Rev. Glenn JonesDang, another fire … just like last year at this time. In the Valle Caldera, no less. Well … hopefully the rain we just received (thank you, Lord!) will knock some of these conflagrations down around the state and up in Colorado.
As you know, one of the greatest tragedies of most wildfires is that they are so often caused simply by persons careless in watching and/or dousing campfires. Thus, we see how responsibility can equal charity. These human-caused fires are perfect examples of the “an ounce of prevention Read More
