  What does it mean to love our neighbors in the midst of such a divisive climate? Catholics are called to bring the best of ourselves and our faith to the public square and yet today, many shy away from such involvement because our national and local conversations are filled with anger and harsh language, often directed at people themselves. As Catholics, we must model a better way. Click title for more information.

His Mercy Endures Forever...
Welcome the Stranger
2019 Annual Catholic Appeal

Although the Archdiocese of Santa Fe entered into Chapter 11 Reorganization during the first week of December 2018, the utmost concern is for the victims of abuse. People of God, stand erect and continue to be the good people you are. Pray with and for the victims.

Please remember! The Annual Catholic Appeal (ACA) Foundation is NOT part of the Chapter 11 filing. ACA funding is not available for legal claims. ACA remains a significant source of funding for the ministries and services of the Archdiocese of Santa Fe throughout this process and beyond. We are the body of Christ and His loving work endures...forever.

Welcome Home

The Catholic Community of St. Joseph on the Rio Grande is a member of the Archdiocese of Santa Fe and is in union with the Roman Catholic Church. We believe in and celebrate the presence of Christ in our world through Word and Sacrament. We strive to make Jesus known in the local community through ministries of faith, hospitality, liturgy, compassion, and justice.

The words of our mission statement show that St. Joseph on the Rio Grande Catholic Church is a vibrant community of Christian believers. Bound together by our common baptism, we journey with each other in this life in the hope that we will come at last to everlasting life in the Kingdom of Jesus Christ, Our Lord.

Take your time and explore this site. It is my hope that you will find some information that can be a help to you or see a ministry through which you can use your gifts for the good of the community.

In Christ's Peace,
Monsignor Lambert Joseph Luna, Pastor

Archdiocese Prayer for Healing

Loving and Merciful God,
look upon us with compassion
as we cry out to You in our time of contrition.

Your Church is brought low
by the sins committed against our innocent children
in whose eyes we see the image of Your crucified Son.

Just as Jesus gathered the children into His loving arms,
so gather us now into Your healing embrace,
especially those who have been crushed
by the scourge of abuse.

Fashion us, Your sons and daughters,
into instruments of Your healing presence
so that Your humble Church may itself be healed
as we seek to comfort all who have been devastated
by the actions of those who betrayed our trust.

You, who know all mysteries
and whose wisdom is beyond compare,
guide us through these turbulent days.

Assist us in our efforts to bring justice
to those who have been offended,
give us the grace to restore our suffering communion
and imbue us with new life
in our efforts to heal and to protect,
especially those who are most vulnerable.

We ask this through our Lord, Jesus Christ,
who is with us now and forever. Amen.
