- Why Are Catholics Upset About Canceled Masses?
  
  Non-Catholics are puzzled why Catholics are distressed because some Dioceses have canceled the Holy Mass to protect the parishioners as well as the priests and laypeople who work in service of the diocese. As explained by one priest to me, if you knew what happens during the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, you would never want to miss it either. What does this priest and some Catholics know, that we don't? View a short film, "The Veil Removed," and see what happens during the Mass behind the veil. Click the title.

The Era of St. Joseph?

St. Joseph is the model of manhood needed today. Get to know our patron, St. Joseph---the light of patriarchs; patron of the universal church; the terror of demons; the model of artisans; the mirror of patience; the most chaste spouse of the Virgin Mary. Listen to the homily by Fr. Calloway below who gives an account of the time we may be living in ... the era of St. Joseph.

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.
