Jesus meets the need of each disciple, to the fearful in the upper room, He speaks words of peace. To doubting Thomas, He provides the tangible proof of His resurrection. What do I need to become His disciple? What do I have to share that might meet someone else's need?

School News: A big thank you to all the parishioners who participated in our school self-study! Your input and help made a big difference! The parish plays a critical part in the faith formation of its children. As we heard from the self-study, the biggest responsibility parents have is not the academic or financial success of their children, but their spiritual wellbeing. Thank you for supporting parents in their efforts to raise their children in the Catholic faith.

Have you always dreamed of being a crossing guard for a Catholic school? Well, now is the chance for your dream to come true. StFX School is seeking an adult volunteer crossing guard Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday morning, approximately 10 minutes before Mass begins and immediately following Mass. There is no pay, but the benefits are heavenly.

The students had many opportunities during Lent to learn about the important role Easter plays in our Catholic faith. Student retreats, receiving the sacrament of Reconciliation, Stations of the Cross, the Rice Bowl collection, and Lenten traditions are just a few of the many ways we “took up our cross and gave our hearts to Jesus.”

Taos Parks & Rec. is offering an Adult Kickball League on Thursday nights starting April 3rd. Call Jeff @ 619-5939 for more information.

Thank you! The K of C Ladies Aux. would like to thank all who donated and purchased items at our recent silent auction. It was a huge success!!

Pray the Rosary at 7:10 p.m. every first Wednesday of each month at the K of C Hall, Taos.

Prayer to Immaculate Heart of Mary: In the presence of all the heavenly court, I choose thee this day for my Mother and Mistress. I deliver and consecrate to thee, as thy servant, my body and soul, my goods, both interior and exterior, and even the value of all my good actions, past, present and future, leaving to thee the entire and full right of disposing of me, and all that belongs to me, without exception, according to thy good pleasure, for the greater glory of God, in time and in eternity. Amen
