“Sacraments are ‘powers that comes forth’ from the Body of Christ, which is ever-living and life-giving. They are actions of the Holy Spirit at work in his Body, the Church. They are ‘the masterworks of God’ in the new and everlasting covenant.”
-The Catechism of the Catholic Church §1116
By God’s perfect design and infinite grace, we encounter the living Christ in the sacraments. Some sacraments, like the Eucharist, we celebrate daily. Others, like Baptism and Confirmation, Marriage, and the like, we celebrate only once. At Sacred Heart, we follow and love Christ fully through the sacraments of the Catholic Church. We encourage all our members to embrace the sacraments faithfully and completely.
Below you will find the information necessary to help you respond to Christ calling you in the sacraments. If you need any help, don’t hesitate to call the parish office at (575)763-6947.

The Sacrament of Holy Orders
“Holy Orders is the sacrament through which the mission entrusted by Christ to his apostles continues to be exercised in the Church until the end of time: thus it is the sacrament of apostolic ministry. It includes three degrees: episcopate, presbyterate, and diaconate” (Catechism §1536).
If you are a Catholic man sensing a call to ordained ministry, feel free to contact one of our clergy. Also, be sure and contact the Office of Vocations in the Diocese of Santa Fe at (505)831-8143.
