Because of the dramatic surge in COVID-19 related cases and deaths in New Mexico recently, the decision has been made to suspend all in-person ministry meetings and religious education gatherings for the remainder of January, 2022. It is expected that they will resume starting February 1, 2022. The Parish Synod meeting that was scheduled for Wednesday, January 26, 2022, will also be postponed and re-scheduled for a later date. Some ministry meetings will take place by videoconference and participants will be notified of such. Classes at Our Lady of Fatima School are expected to resume on Tuesday, January 18, 2022, following a temporary shutdown because of a building maintenance issue that needed to be addressed. Confession and Masses will continue to be held at their regular times.
