From the Dean – April 30, 2021
From the Very Rev. Kristina Maulden Many good things are happening this Spring! We are turning the tide of Covid here in New Mexico. Our county is being moved to a “green” classification. And, the clergy, staff and vestry are developing a plan to move to in person, in...
From the Dean – April 2, 2021
Alleluia! He is Risen! I know, for all of you who are reading this on Good Friday, you might be thinking, not yet. And yes, in the liturgical sense, we reserve this for Easter. But, in a deeper sense, Christ is Risen now and always. This is at the foundation of what...

From the Rev. Spencer Brown 2,464,468 steps. The steps taken by the people wandering in the desert? The steps taken to reach the promised land? No…the steps taken by those participating in the virtual pilgrimage last January. Two million, four hundred sixty-four...

Cathedral Chat – November 13, 2020
Dear Fellow Parishioners, My husband Robert Mayer and I became members of St. John’s Cathedral in January 2018. After re-locating from Stillwater, Oklahoma, in 2016, we visited a number of Episcopal churches in the Albuquerque region. All of them had much to offer,...
From the Dean – November 13, 2020
From the Very Rev. Kristina Maulden We are approaching Thanksgiving and Christmas at an amazing pace. In this peculiar year, the idea of celebrating Advent while physically distanced, is particularly difficult to contemplate. To counter that as much as possible, the...

From the Rev. Spencer W. Brown Many people drink coffee to stay awake during the day. I love coffee. While I drink it for its energizing capacities, it often just makes me tired and fast. Staying awake is something with which we can all identify. There are times in...
