On Sunday, October 6th parishioners gathered at San Diego de Alcala in Jemez Pueblo to celebrate Mass. Fr. Larry Bernard preached about the importance of following the Gospel's call to be 'unprofitable servants.' (Luke 17:10). "We are called to do what He tells us to do because we love Him. We are His. We have the privilege of serving him, the privilege of going to Church, and the privilege of being an active member of our community."

This Gospel message is lived out in a very tangible way to the Felician Sisters who were special guests at this Mass. The Felician Sisters sponsor St. Felix Pantry, which visits Jemez Pueblo twice a month to distribute food to those in need. "If you are hungry, please come get food," announced Sr. Mary Angela Parkins, President/CEO, during Mass. The vision of St Felix Pantry is to restore hope to families and individuals in need by providing food, clothing, education and referral services in the Felician Franciscan tradition.

We thank them for their service to God's people!
