Los Alamos
Many no doubt saw the recent press release in which the Catholic Archbishop of Santa Fe published the names of the members of Catholic clergy who have been accused of past sexual abuse of children. It’s no new news that those things happened, but if you’re like me, your reaction may have been: “Wow … so many.” At least know that they have all been permanently removed from ministry, if not now deceased. I know of no allegations of new abuse by clergy in our archdiocese for many years now, and all of us in ministry pray that that beast never again Read More

Just One Thing To Do This Week: Watch Your Carbs — I Mean, Crabs
By MARY BETH MAASSEN
Los Alamos
This is a story I wrote a several years ago when we had a home on the beach in Kino Bay, Mexico. Tis crab season, so I thought I would share it with you…
Lately I have noticed there are crabs all over the beach. So I decided it’s a good time to make crab cakes. I bet you think you know where this story is going; but you’re wrong.

I jump in my mini-van and drive down to the pier.
When I pull up to the pier a dozen fishermen run up to me with bags Read More
