Keep Catholic Churches Open in Catron County
For over 100 years, the parishes of Catron County News Mexico have served the communities of Catholics and non-Catholics alike, in a 300 + mile round trip, but now those five churches are struggling to survive. We are struggling to keep the doors open.
We are begging your help to keep our church doors open.
The five churches in Catron County are in the most remote part of the Diocese Gallup, which is a multicultural, expansive diocese, it encompasses seven Native Americans Nations within two states, and is 56,495 square miles, (larger than 25 other states). The landscape, people, and faith expression within this area are extraordinary and unlike any other diocese in the United States and, perhaps, the world. However, With 57% of the population being Native American, and unemployment as high as 50%; 40% of the general population lives below the poverty level. These five historic churches are part of a Catholic community working for the salvation of souls, to ease the suffering of the human condition, to witness the truth, to help foster the overall fulfillment of life, and to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. These five churches in Catron County, NM. are in dire need of your generosity to help us continue their existence.
