Parish Mission Statement

St. Albert the Great Newman Parish, a Roman Catholic community at New Mexico State University, as a family of faith, welcomes everyone to encounter Jesus Christ through Word, Worship, Community, and Service. Guided by the Holy

Spirit, we are changed for the better and sent forth as disciples of Christ to continue his work in the world.

Sunday, March 26, 2017 + Fourth Sunday of Lent

Faith Formation & Religious Education Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."

Matthew 19:14

Note from the Pope

Words of Wisdom from Pope Francis

"Lent is the sacramental sign of our journey from slavery to freedom, always to be �

renewed. It is certainly a demanding journey, as it rightly should be, because love is

demanding, but it is a journey filled with hope. Indeed, I would add: the Lenten exodus is the

journey in which hope itself is formed. The difficulty in crossing the desert � all the trials,

temptations, illusions, mirages � all this serves to forge a solid, steadfast hope, on the model of that of the Virgin Mary, who, in the midst of the darkness of the Passion and death of her Son,

continues to believe and to hope in his Resurrection, in the victory of God’s love."�

Hello, Friends:

Please pray for the confirmation III student who will be on retreat next weekend. Jayne, Anton and several folks will make up the retreat team and have worked hard to put the retreat experi-ence together; they have done a great job. We’ll be traveling up to the Sacramento Mountain Methodist Assembly camp ground on Friday evening and returning on Sunday, after mass. This “mountain top” Experience is usually a turning point in the lives of your young children; please pray that they open their heart to receive the good news of the Holy Spirit. Thanks to all of you who supported last week-end’s appeal for Food for the Poor. We’re contin-uing our parish Lenten Almsgiving project and ask for your prayers and support. We’d really like to reach our goal and with your help we will. In a recent article Pope Francis spoke about the transformative power that confession can be for us. I realize that we’ve already hosted our parish penance service but there are several scheduled for next week, one at Holy Cross and other at Im-maculate Heart. Please consider making confes-sion a priority in the next several weeks, before Easter!
