The New Mexico Ecumenical Institute for Ministry presents the New Mexico Pilgrimage for Unity. Share gratitude as a pilgrim: Walk, Pray, Give Thanks November 26th - 28th in this Self Designed Pilgrimage in Place. Pilgrimage is about transformation. We walk and pray because deep within we seek an encounter with God to direct our ordinary lives. During Thanksgiving weekend secular culture calls us toward excesses of consumption and competition. In response, Christians from various streams turn in a different direction: away from the noise and toward the silence. We step onto the Pilgrim Path, heading toward the holy, laying out our prayers with every step. Include others or walk alone...walk 1, 2 or all 3 days; shorter or longer distances; consider walking with friends from other faith communities; seek unity. You design your offering of gratitude. 11/26 Pilgrimage Zoom Opening Service 8 am/MT: Reflection by Sr. Hope Rodenborn, The Benedictine Sisters of Perpetual Adoration, Clyde, MO 11/28 Pilgrimage Zoom Closing 6:00 pm/MT: Reflection by Rev. Lynne Hinton, Conference Director, New Mexico Conference of Churches Register by clicking this article.

Adult Confirmation classes are offered for adults (18+) who have been baptized and received First Eucharist in the Roman Catholic Church. You should be attending Mass regularly and be registered at St. John XXIII Catholic Community in Albuquerque, NM. If your reason for pursuing the Sacrament of Confirmation at this time is because you have been asked to be a baptismal godparent, that is wonderful! Please remember being a godparent comes with the responsibility to live your faith which includes, minimally, remaining a Catholic in good standing and attending Mass weekly. If this is the right path for you, please click the title for more information.
