Important Letter from Archbishop Sheehan - My Brothers and Sisters in Christ.

When parents bring their children to be baptized, they must first promise to bring them up in the practice of our Catholic faith, that is, to follow the law of Christ and the teachings of the Catholic Church. There is no greater gift that a parent can give than this. One of the most excellent ways for a parent to do this is by enrolling their children in a Catholic School. Catholic Schools have an excellent track record of strengthening the Catholic faith of students and providing great education and good discipline. Santa Fe is blessed to have Santo Nino Regional Catholic School sponsored and supported by eight parishes. It has state of the art building and an award-winning course of studies, including religious. I encourage parents to enroll their kids (grandparents to enroll their grandchildren) for the upcoming school year, while space and tuition assistance are still available. In your children's future, they will little remember what sports they may have excelled in, or what social activities they had in school but they should remember the solid education and moral values they received in their education. There is no better place to make sure this happens than in your local Catholic School. Enroll now. Sincerely - Michael J. Sheehan.

Proper Dress - Letters were sent to all pastors of the Archdiocese concerning appropriate dressing for the celebration of the Liturgy on Sundays. People become careless in the way they dress for church, showing disregard for others who attend Mass as well as for the Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. The message is for both men and women. At times clothing is very revealing, some times sloppy, torn and dirty. I encourage everyone to take pride in the way they dress when they come to church. Remember that you come to the house of God. Respect yourself and others in the way you dress when you attend Mass on Sundays and during the week.
