SANTA FE – The New Mexico Department of Transportation, New Mexico State Police and the Archdiocese of Santa Fe are asking the faithful to please stay home during Holy Week. While annual pilgrimages to El Santuario de Chimayo and Tome Hill are cherished, New Mexico traditions, the events have been cancelled.
Santa Ana Catholic Church in Deming organizes an annual Lenten Youth Walk at Rockhound State Park 12 miles south of Deming. The walk usually attracts 150-200 youths and members of the congregation where an outdoor Mass is held under a group shelter at the park. Following the Mass, the youth and congregation have lunch and reflect on the Lenten season.
