Fr. Glenn: Finding Peace

by

By Fr. Glenn Jones:

Heavy sigh.

Well, the reasons are no doubt as varied as the tragedies.

For spring break I wanted to take my junior foodie somewhere special, with a lot of history, science and great restaurants! After some consideration, I picked Magdalena, NM.

  3. VLA (24 miles away)
  4. Pie Town (50 miles away)
