Honoring the Ministry of Mary, as Peacemaker

     Welcome to Santa Maria de la Paz, a Catholic faith community that serves many and welcomes all. We are a parish that has been blessed with a history of outstanding parishioner commitment, investment and involvement. It’s our spiritual home where each lives for the other and all live for God.

     Whether as a current member of our parish family or an individual searching for a parish, we hope and pray that you find this community of faith warm, welcoming and committed to the Gospel of Jesus and His church. Our parish family is encouraged to seek a deeper understanding of what it means to use our time, talents and treasure by serving our church in one or more of our many ministries and by being good stewards. Our parishioner’s presence enriches us and builds up the life of the Church.

     As you glance through our website, you will find the elements of our faith community that we hope will lead you to a deeper relationship with God, engage you in a greater sense of community with others and inspire you to wider service to our sisters and brothers.

     Once again welcome, we are glad to have you with us as we journey together in and with the Lord of life, love and all good and wonderful things as Jesus is our past, present and future.

    Announcements

    • Adult Religious Education

      The Archdiocese of Santa Fe reminds us that the Sacraments of First Holy Communion and Confirmation are not only sacred steps for the candidates—they are a faith journey for parents, guardians, and sponsors as well! Parents, guardians, and sponsors are required to attend parish programs or classes and are encouraged to join candidates in special sessions. 


      Here at Santa Maria de la Paz, we make this easy and enriching through our Adult Religious Education program—an opportunity to grow in faith together as we guide our young people toward the fullness of the Spirit. Participation in one of these ARE program units is a requirement for all parents, guardians, and sponsors. 


      UNIT ONE—Theology of the Body begins on Tuesday, September 23rd.  All sessions are held at the Msgr. Jerome Parish Hall at 6:00PM.


      Attend a “Crash Course” in Saint Pope John Paul II’s “Theology of the Body” Tuesday nights from Sept. 23 through Oct. 28. In this age of pornography, transgenderism, abortion, promiscuity and plastic surgery, let’s refer to Pope St. John Paul II’s profound teaching, delivered between 1979 and 1984, in a series of weekly audiences that eventually became known as the Theology of the Body.  Find answers to the questions: What does it mean to be human? Why does my body matter? What was I made for?


      The Theology of the Body speaks to all ages, and all vocations, single and married Catholics.  


      The six-week course includes: 

      Video lectures by Fr. Mike Schmitz, best known for his Bible in a Year podcast

      Study guides and group discussions

      Recorded lectures by “The Theology of the Body for Beginners” author Christopher West


      Additional units for the Adult Religious Education program are currently in the development stage and will be announced soon. 


    • Parish Office Closed - Labor Day

      The Parish Office will be closed on Monday, September 1 in celebration of the Labor Day holiday.  Please be safe.


      Daily Mass will be celebrated at 9:00am.

    Child Safety in our Worship Space

    ATTENTION PARENTS!! The safety of your child is very important to us, therefore your child is NOT ALLOWED to leave the sanctuary during Mass for any reason (i.e. restroom, drink of water) unless accompanied by an adult. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding as we take every precaution to safeguard our children.
