Reopening our Churches – Phase 1
Frequently asked questions and answers.
Per our Governor’s directives, we are now moving into another phase of living daily with Covid-19. These changes are presenting a new set of challenges that will affect our Church life as well.  The Eucharistic Celebration, the coming together of our parish communities, holds a central place for all Catholics. Below you will find the new directives from Archbishop Wester that are now in place for all churches in the Archdiocese of Santa Fe, effective May 16.
We know that this re-opening will be very challenging for everyone and will call from each of us the very best of who we are as we gather to be the Body of Christ. As we return to our Churches, please know that things will be different and the practice of patience will be needed. 

Whether we experience the Eucharistic Celebration from a pew or a screen, it is important for all to remember that we remain the Holy People of God, called to value and protect all of human life and to respond to the needs of others with compassion.  May our witness during this time be one that mirrors our belief in Christ and our call to love our neighbor as ourselves.

Reapertura de nuestras iglesias - Fase 1
Preguntas y respuestas frecuentes.
Siguiendo las directivas de la Gobernadora de Nuevo México, estamos pasando a otra fase de la vida diaria en tiempos de Covid-19.  Esta nueva fase plantea una serie de desafíos que repercutirán también en la reapertura paulatina de nuestras iglesias para la celebración pública de las misas y de la vida de la Iglesia en general.  La celebración eucarística, la reunión de nuestras comunidades parroquiales, ocupa un lugar central para todos los católicos.  Es por ello  que, a continuación encontrarán algunas preguntas y respuestas comunes sobre las  directivas del Arzobispo Wester que entraron en vigor para todas las iglesias de la Arquidiócesis de Santa Fe, a partir del 16 de mayo.

Sabemos que esta reapertura, aunque nos trae alegría y esperanza, será también un gran reto para todos y demandará de cada uno lo mejor de lo que somos, mientras nos reunimos como el Cuerpo de Cristo.  Al regresar a nuestras Iglesias, es importante considerar que  habrá cambios y diferencias  y  que todos tendremos que poner en práctica la paciencia.   Ya sea que experimentemos la Celebración Eucarística desde un banco en la iglesia o a través de una pantalla, es importante que todos recordemos que seguimos siendo el Pueblo Santo de Dios, llamado a valorar y proteger toda vida humana y a responder a las necesidades de los demás con compasión.  Que nuestro testimonio durante este tiempo sea uno que refleje nuestra fe en Cristo y nuestra llamada a amar a nuestro prójimo como a nosotros mismos.
