Living the Eucharist Cycle B
Because of our Archdiocesan-wide participation in Living the Eucharist during Lent
2014, Paulist Evangelization Ministries is
offering a sizable credit to the Archdiocese for those parishes that would like to
offer Living the Eucharist cycle B during
Lent 2015. If your parish is planning to embrace this wonderful Evangelization program as part of the parish Lenten journey, and would like help
with the cost of materials, please contact our office (see box)
To register and for more information contact: Annette, Victims Assistance Coordinator at 505.831.8144.
Neighbors Reaching Neighbors
Take some time to reach out to Inactive Catholics living around your parish! Let Neighbors Reaching Neighbors give you all the tools you need to
invite those in your community to connect with your parish!
Not sure where to get started with door-to-door evangelization? A great
way to begin is planning a social event, like a Mardi Gras Celebration, or
Parish Lenten Fish Fry. Social events are a low-pressure way to invite people to be a part of your parish community. Use Neighbors Reaching
Neighbors to get the word out! Get started with the Neighbors Reaching
Neighbors Tool Kit. Click here http://www.pemdc.org

In order to assist our immigrant brothers and sisters within the Catholic community to obtain reliable information about these programs,
the Office of Hispanic Ministry is collaborating with Catholic Charities
of Central New Mexico to offer information sessions in Spanish on
these Administrative Relief programs. Sessions will be offered by
Catholic Charities and are open to anyone interested in knowing
who is eligible to apply for these programs, how and when to apply,
what is needed to apply, fees, etc.
Information sessions presented by Catholic Charities will take place
on the following dates and locations:

Bridge Office (2010 Bridge Blvd S.W. Albuquerque, NM 87105)

From the Social Justice and Respect Life Office
“Conversations with Dorothy Day” will be presented in a theatrical
performance in Albuquerque, Saturday, February 7, 2015. Dorothy
Day, the co-founder of the Catholic Worker movement, spent 47
years caring for the poor and leading the Catholic Church to a more
active concern for the needs in U.S. society. The live performance of
the one-woman show will be enacted by actress Sharon HalsayHoover who will depict Dorothy in scenes visiting with her friends
and reading from her journals and other writings as she talks about
her life.” As a young woman in the 20s and 30s, Dorothy became
aware of the exploitation of immigrants and the poor. She became a
suffragette, a journalist and an activist for human rights. The event is
scheduled from 7:00-8:30 pm at the First Congregational UCC, 2801
Lomas Blvd NE, with a reception to follow (corner of Lomas and
Girard). Trinity House Catholic Worker, a referral-based shelter for
homeless women with children, will benefit an effort to raise funds
for the shelter’s new roof. Admission is a suggested $10 donation. All
are welcome. For more information, visit
www.trinitycatholicworker.org or call Trinity House at 842-5697,
