All couples married in the Catholic Church celebrating their Paper (1st), Silver (25th), Gold (50th) or 50 plus wedding anniversary in 2026, are invited to attend a Mass at St. Peter’s Parish in Roswell on Friday, February 13, at 5:30 pm., or at the Cathedral of Immaculate Heart of Mary in Las Cruces on Saturday, February 14, at 5:30 p.m., to celebrate and receive a blessing from Bishop Peter Baldacchino.

1. We are at the end of our drive to collect new registration forms from families. Thank you for the ~200 families who have already responded. If you don’t want to be removed from the directory and haven’t filled out a registration form, please do so now and place it in the box in the back of the church or the collection basket during Mass. You can also mail it to us, drop it in the mailbox, or bring it to the office. 2. The Marriage Retreat “Marriage – Unique for a Reason – will be on January 17. The deadline to register is on January 13. For more information or to register, please call the parish office. 3. It is time again to write this message on our front doors: 20+C+M+B+26. The letters have two meanings: they stand for the three Magi—Caspar, Melchior, and Balthazar—and also for Christus Mansionem Benedicat, that is, Christ bless this house. The numbers indicate the current year. We encourage you to take the blessed chalk after Mass, along with the Epiphany prayer, which is in front of the crib.
1. There will be no reconciliation or Mass on Tuesday, December 30, due to the Bishop’s Christmas Gathering for Priests in Artesia. 2. The Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God, is on January 1. It is a Holy Day of Obligation, and we will have three Masses. On the 31 st , we will have a Vigil Mass at 6 PM that will be celebrated as a thanksgiving for all gifts that were received from God this past year, and also for Assumption donors. On the 1 st , we will have Masses at 9 and 11 AM. 3. The parish office will be closed on New Year’s Day. 4. The United in Ministry campaign officially ends on December 31. However, there is a grace period of ten days until January 10. Gifts received after that date will count towards 2026. All checks must be dated no later than December 31. Credit card gifts given directly to the diocese have a hard deadline of December 31. Thank you for your generosity. 5. Next Sunday, we celebrate the Epiphany, also known as “Three Kings Day”. Each year, we have blessed chalk available at the Masses, used for marking the doorposts of our homes with an inscription of the new year separated by C+M+B. 6. The Marriage Group will resume sessions in the new year, starting with a Marriage Retreat on January 17. It will be a time to strengthen your bond, meet other couples, and give your marriage the gift of focus. The deadline to register for the retreat is January 13.
