The Albuquerque African American Catholic Community cordially invites all to join us for Mass, Sunday, June 24, 2018, to celebrate the Solemnity of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist.  Click the title for more information.

You are invited to participate in the Corpus Christi Celebration on Sunday, June 3, 2018, after the 7:00 a.m. Mass, which is rescheduled from the usual 8:00 a.m. Mass. The feast of Corpus Christi is a yearly event when our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament is exposed not only to faithful Catholics but everyone. It is an occasion when Catholics can show their love for Christ in a very public way. It is also a fantastic way in which we can show our love for our neighbors by bringing Our Lord and Savior closer to them. We would like as many ministries and parishioners to participate in the procession. If you are a parishioner, please show up before the procession begins which is directly following the 7 a.m. Mass. Don't forget to bring fragrant flowers and herbs to throw before the Blessed Sacrament. Learn more about the origins of Corpus Christi by clicking the title.

This year the Institute will be held at Lourdes Hall on the Archdiocesan Campus, the week of June 4 - 8, 2018. A fee of $50 is charged. Click the title for more information.
