Mon. Nov 23, 6:00pm: Santa Fe Interfaith Conversations for Peace in a Nuclear World
As we continue our efforts to encourage conversations about peace in a nuclear world, our November meeting will be held at a new location: Drexel Hall* at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi. We are grateful to Santa Maria de la Paz for providing meeting space over the past several years and look forward to continuing to meet there regularly. We also appreciate the Cathedral's hospitality in welcoming us to Drexel Hall this November as part of our efforts to broaden this important dialogue throughout Santa Fe's faith community.
Our November meeting will focus on two areas:
The Nagasaki Pilgrimage (December 4–5): We will discuss the pilgrimage's upcoming stop in Santa Fe (see bulletin item below) and explore ways our group can help make this visit a success. The pilgrimage will travel to New York, Santa Fe, and Seattle. A particularly meaningful aspect of the Santa Fe visit will be the encounter between Our Lady of Peace and Hibaku Maria of Nagasaki—two images of Mary that speak to their respective communities about the challenges of seeking peace amid conflict.
Expanding the Conversation: We will continue exploring opportunities to broaden these important conversations about peace within the Santa Fe community.
All are welcome to join us on November 23 and take part in this ongoing work for peace.

Additional Confession Times - Mon & Wed from 5:00pm to 6:30pm
Beginning Wednesday, October 21, Confessions will be heard every Wednesday and Friday from 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. in the Main Church. Eucharistic Adoration will also be offered during these hours, providing a peaceful opportunity to spend time in the presence of our Lord. We encourage our parishioners to take advantage of these additional times to seek God’s mercy, experience His healing grace, and grow in their relationship with Christ.
Food Pantry
If you or someone you know is experiencing food insecurity, please stop by the Parish Office during regular business hours to pick up a box of food. Our parish is committed to supporting those in need and ensuring that no one in our community goes hungry. Through the generosity of our parishioners, our food pantry provides food items to individuals and families facing hardship. Together, we can live out our call to care for one another and share Christ’s love through service.
Incense Use at Mass
Incense has long been a beautiful part of the Church's liturgical tradition. Its fragrant smoke symbolizes our prayers rising to God, honors the presence of Christ in the Eucharist, and adds solemnity to the celebration of the Sacred Liturgy.
Beginning this month (July 2026), incense will no longer be used regularly at the Saturday 5:00 p.m. Vigil Mass or the Sunday 7:30 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. Masses. It will continue to be used regularly at the Sunday 11:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Masses, as well as at special liturgies throughout the year.
We hope this adjustment will provide options for parishioners who are sensitive to incense while continuing to preserve this beautiful liturgical tradition within our parish.
