My dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

s I made my final preparations to move to the Archdiocese of Santa Fe, I would like to thank you most sincerely for the good wishes and prayers that you have sent my way in the past few weeks. I was truly humbled by your warm and gracious welcome when I was with you a few weeks ago. Although it is never easy to leave a place that has been home these past eight years, your kindness and enthusiastic faith give me comfort and deepen my excitement about my new ministry in your midst. I have had the opportunity to visit the archdiocese several times in the past and have been very impressed with the rich cultures of New Mexico, the vibrant faith, the beauty of the land and the warmth of the people. I realize that I have a lot to learn and I look forward to listening to you and learning from

Mis queridos hermanos y hermanas en Cristo,

ientras realizo los preparativos finales para mudarme a la Arquidiócesis de Santa Fe, me gustaría darles las más sinceras gracias por los buenos deseos y oraciones que me han hecho llegar en estas últimas semanas. Me sentí verdaderamente honrado por su cálida y amable bienvenida cuando estuve con ustedes hace unas semanas. Aunque nunca es fácil dejar un lugar que ha sido el hogar por los últimos ocho años, su amabilidad y fe entusiasta me confortan y aumentan mi entusiasmo por mi nuevo ministerio entre ustedes. En el pasado, varias veces he tenido la oportunidad de visitar la Arquidiócesis y siempre me han impresionado las ricas culturas de Nuevo México, la fe tan vibrante, la

you in the years ahead. Archbishop Sheehan has been very kind and welcoming to me and he has been lavish in his praise of the Archdiocese of Santa Fe. There is a real joy in the people of the archdiocese and a contagious energy about celebrating and spreading the Catholic faith. I had the pleasure of joining you in 2010 for the 400th anniversary of Christianity in the Southwest. This same vital spirit was evident then as now and it excites me to be joining you as your Shepherd. God has certainly blessed you and now through you I am blessed. Please pray for me during these days of transition. I am asking the Lord to guide me and to assist me in supporting all the good work taking place in the archdiocese. I have observed already priests, deacons, religious and lay leaders who give generously of themselves in service to the church. I have heard of the rich diversity in our parishes, schools and other Catholic communities that reflect the long

tradition of our faith in the archdiocese. I am impressed with the authentic and sincere work that has been done to provide a safe environment for children and the vulnerable, recognizing that we must be rigorously vigilant in protecting our precious young people. I am eager to learn about the native cultures and traditions that inspire and enliven our Catholic faith, giving the Gospel message new vitality and vigor. Most of all, I am profoundly grateful for the opportunity to make new friends as I journey with you on the path the Lord has marked out for us together. Please keep Archbishop Sheehan in your good prayers as well as he begins this new chapter in his life. His love, concern and affection for all of you are most evident and I count myself fortunate to succeed such a dedicated shepherd and compassionate leader. Again, please remember me in your prayers as I assure you of mine. These are very exciting and

The Archdiocese Celebrates A Quintessential Pastor’s Retirement We will forever be grateful, Msgr. Francis X. Eggert By Deacon Keith Davis, ASF Director of Ministry Resource Center/Formation of Christian Service

with his generous and devoted love. Msgr. Eggert’s service, of course, has gone far beyond his nineteen years in service as a pastor. He was a consummate administrator and educator, serving as principal of St. Pius High School in Albuquerque and as Rector of Immaculate Heart of Mary Seminary in Santa Fe. His fellow priests, many of whom came to support him at his retirement celebration express great respect for a man who has helped many of them to overcome difficulties in their own ministry. Though he celebrates his 85th birthday this month, Msgr. Eggert will continue to serve – to share Christ’s love with others. He plans on being available to assist wherever he is needed.

Celine Baca Radigan/ASF

On June 7, the Feast of the Body and Blood of our Lord, Jesus Christ, Msgr. Francis X. Eggert celebrated his last Sunday Mass as pastor at Our Lady of Fatima Parish in Albuquerque. This was followed by a celebration of his retirement which was attended by hundreds including parishioners, former students, and fellow priests. It was certainly appropriate that this monumental event occurred on this particular feast. As St. Augustine reminds us in regards to the Blessed Sacrament – we become what we receive. Msgr. Eggert is a quintessential example of St. Augustine’s words. After presiding over the Eucharist for 57 years as a priest, this beloved pastor brought the love of Christ to thousands

Archbishop Michael J. Sheehan’s Luncheon with Pueblo Governors

The Second Annual Luncheon with the Archbishop and Indian Pueblo Governors was held on May 11, 2015 at the Archdiocese of Santa Fe’s Catholic Center in Albuquerque. In attendance were Archbishop Michael J. Sheehan, Pueblo Governors and their tribal officials, Pueblo church pastors and officials, and archdiocese staff, Michelle Montez, Executive Director of the Pastoral Ministries

Division, Shirley Zuni, Coordinator of Native American Ministry, Bernadette Jaramillo, Director of Youth and Young Adult Ministry, and several members of the Native American Ministry Advisory Board. Pueblos represented at the luncheon were Cochiti, Isleta, Jemez, Laguna, Picuris, San Felipe, Sandia, Santa Ana, Santa Clara, Santo Domingo, and Tesuque. The luncheon provides an opportunity

for the Archbishop and Pueblo Governors to meet in-person and get to know one another. Archbishop Sheehan opened the luncheon with a few remarks and praised the Pueblo communities for their continued devotion and worship within the Catholic faith. Catholic ministry work continues throughout Pueblo country with Shirley Zuni reaching out to Pueblo people with assistance from the recently formed, Native American Ministry Advisory Board. The luncheon was also an

opportunity to thank Archbishop Sheehan for his many years of faithful service as he retires from his position as Archbishop for the Archdiocese of Santa Fe. The pueblo communities are thankful for his support and reaching out to the Pueblo people over the years. The luncheon concluded with Archbishop Sheehan presenting the Pueblo officials with a beautiful retablo of St. Kateri Tekakwitha, the first Native American to become a saint in the Catholic Church.

by ordaining seven men to the priesthood. This was the largest ordination class in recent memory, certainly the largest class in the past 50 years. The seven men who will become Roman Catholic priests represent the

great universality that is the Church. Three of the men are from Vietnam, one is from Poland, one from Mexico, and the two from Raton and Albuquerque, New Mexico represent rural and city parishes of our archdi-

ocese. This day will be a cause of great joy for all Catholics in the archdiocese as we have been blessed not with a shortage but with an increase of seminarians in recent years.

Climate encyclical expected to send strong moral message to the world By Barbara J. Fraser

LIMA, Peru (CNS) -- Pope Francis’ upcoming encyclical on ecology and climate is expected to send a strong moral message -- one message that could make some readers uncomfortable, some observers say. “The encyclical will address the issue of inequality in the distribution of resources and topics such as the wasting of food and the irresponsible exploitation of nature and the consequences for people’s life and health,” Archbishop Pedro Barreto Jimeno of Huancayo, Peru, told Catholic News Service. “Pope Francis has repeatedly stated that the environment is not only an economic or political issue,

The New Mexico Conference of Churches is pleased to welcome Archbishop Wester to the Land of Enchantment We look forward to continuing our 50 years of ecumenical work together. We also give thanks for Archbishop Sheehan’s ministry with us and the Archdiocese of Santa Fe.

but is an anthropological and ethical matter,” he said. “How can you have wealth if it comes at the expense of the suffering and death of other people and the deterioration of the environment?” The encyclical, to be published June 18, is titled “Laudato Sii” (“Praised Be”), the first words of St. Francis’ “Canticle of the Creatures.” Although Archbishop Barreto was not involved in the drafting of the encyclical, he worked closely with then-Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio in 2007 on a document by the Latin American bishops’ council that included an unprecedented section on the environment. The encyclical is not expected to be a theological treatise or a technical document about environmental issues, but a pastoral call to change the way people use the planet’s resources so they are sufficient not only for current needs, but for future generations, observers said. The document “will emphasize that the option for stewardship of the environment goes hand in hand with the option for the poor,” said Carmelite Father Eduardo Agosta Scarel, a climate scientist who teaches at the Pontifical Catholic University of Argentina and the National University of La Plata in Buenos Aires. “I think the pope wants us to become aware of this,” said Father Agosta, who was involved in preparatory consultations about the encyclical. “He is aiming at a change of heart. What will save us is not technology or science. What will save us is the ethical transformation of our society.” The pontiff probably foreshadowed the encyclical

during his first public Mass as pope on March 19, 2013, Father Agosta said. In his homily, he said, “Let us be ‘protectors’ of creation, protectors of God’s plan inscribed in nature, protectors of one another and of the environment.” Although the document will be published in the wake of a seminar on climate change in April at the Vatican, it will not be limited to that issue and will probably focus on the relationship between people and their environment, Archbishop Barreto said. “What the pope brings to this debate is the moral dimension,” said Anthony Annett, climate change and sustainable development adviser to the Earth Institute at Columbia University and to the nonprofit Religions for Peace. “His unique way of looking at the problem, which is deeply rooted in Catholic social teaching, resonates with people all across the world.” Annett called the timing of the encyclical “extremely significant.” A month after it is published, global representatives will meet at a conference on financing for development in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. In September, the pope will address the United Nations at a session that is likely to see the approval of a new set of global development objectives, the Sustainable Development Goals, which include environmental criteria. And in December, negotiators and world leaders will converge on Paris to finish hammering out a treaSee CLIMATE ENCYCLICAL on page 20

Cardinal: Lay ministers co-workers in evangelization mission of church ST. LOUIS (CNS) -- As the role of the laity in the Catholic Church expands, lay ministers have a co-responsibility with their ordained counterparts in furthering

the church’s mission of evangelization, said Cardinal Daniel N. DiNardo of Galveston-Houston. Cardinal DiNardo was the opening speaker at the Lay Ecclesial Ministry Summit June 7-8 in St. Louis. About 120 bishops and pastoral leaders reflected on “Co-Workers in the Vineyard of the Lord,” the bishops’ statement on lay ecclesial ministry released 10 years ago. They also discussed the current landscape of lay ministry and what the future holds. The summit, held just prior to the bishops’ annual spring general assembly June 1012 in St. Louis, was sponsored by U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Committee on Laity, Marriage, Family Life and Youth, Committee on Cultural Diversity

in the Church and the Subcommittee on Certification for Ecclesial Ministry and Service, with the support of the Committee on Doctrine. There are more than 39,600 lay ecclesial ministers in the United States, according to the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate at Georgetown University. They are primarily involved in religious education, sacramental preparation, liturgy and/or music ministry and general parish administration. Cardinal DiNardo said the bishops’ statement was a “watershed document” that offered a slice of a fuller picture of “delineating the meaning about co-responsibility among the faithful and the shepherds for the church’s mission of evangelization.”

The Coat of Arms of His Excellency Most Reverend John Charles Wester 12th Archbishop of Santa Fe

h e Most Reverend John C. Wester’s Coat of Arms reflects Faith, Devotion and Union with Christ -- and contains symbols of his personal journey of faith: The Sacred heart of Jesus, Mary the Mother of God, and words from the Gospel of Saint John the Evangelist. The heart surrounded by thorns and surmounted by flames is the traditional symbol of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. This represents Archbishop Wester’s personal devotion to the Sacred Heart and his complete reliance on Christ’s ineffable and unfathomable love. As the church prays during the Eucharist, it is in Christ that we live and move and have our being. It was on Friday, June 19, 1998, the Feast of the Sacred Heart, that Archbishop Wester received news of the Holy Father’s call to become a bishop. The red rose, or rosette, is an ancient symbol of Mary, the Mystical Rose. Archbishop Wester’s family has lived for many years in Our Lady of Mercy Parish in Daly City where he attended grammar school and furthered his deep devotion to the Mother of God, a devotion which took its beginnings in the cradle of his home where the rosary was often prayed. The Book of the Gospels is open to the first words of the Gospel of Saint John the Evangelist, Archbishop Wester’s patron saint: In Principio erat Verbum et Verbum erat apud Deum. (In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God.) Archbishop Wester humbly acknowledges his desire to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ to all people, at all times and in all places. By following

Christ’s call, he seeks to reflect the light of Christ in our world. The pronounced use of blue and green gives witness to Archbishop Wester’s Swedish and Irish heritage, and so honors his father and mother, Charles and Helen, the first teachers of their son in the ways of faith and love. Archbishop Wester’s motto, “Abide in Christ,” also honors the Evangelist of the Fourth Gospel and is taken from Jesus’ discourse at the Last Supper, John 15:4 “Abide in me, as I abide in you.” The use of the word “abide” underscores the intimate and permanent relationship we have with Christ. As branches only live if they are attached to the vine, so we live only in union with Christ, the Lamb of God. All this is seen in the sinister impalement (right side) of the device. By heraldic tradition, the arms of an archbishop, (impaled) with the arms of his jurisdiction, seen in the dexter impalement (left side) of the shield, in this case the Archdiocese of Santa Fe. These arms are composed of a red field (background) on which is displayed a gold (yellow) cross, of “The Faith,” to signify the name of the See City, “Holy Faith.” In the upper left quarter, that is created by the cross, is a tower triple-towered, of Castile (Spain). Issuing from the base of these arms are the crossed arms of Christ and St. Francis of Assisi, a classic representation of Saint Francis, to honor the titular of the Cathedral in the See City and also the Franciscan Missionaries who first evangelized in this area. All these arms are rendered in red and gold (yellow) which are traditional Spanish colors, signifying that the area around Santa Fe was, for a long time, a Spanish Colony. The device is completed with the external ornaments which are a gold archiepiscopal (two cross members) processional cross, which is placed in back of the shield and which extends above and below the shield, and

Most Reverend John C. Wester 12th Archbishop of Santa Fe Santa Fe’s new archbishop says his place ‘is squarely in your midst’ By Marie Mischel Catholic News Service SANTA FE, N.M. (CNS) -- In his homily for his installation Mass June 4 as the new archbishop of Santa Fe, Archbishop John C. Wester recalled that Christ is represented symbolically as both the good shepherd and the lamb of God. “You and I are called to resign to ourselves in front of Our Lord Jesus as he did when he became one in us,” the archbishop said in Spanish. “As his disciples, the Lord calls us to give one and another so we can be the body of Christ, the church.” Switching to English, the archbishop developed these themes more deeply. “The image of the lamb in our churches points to the Good Shepherd in today’s Gospel, who cares for the sheep so much that he laid down his life for them, becoming the lamb of sacrifice,” he said. “It is precisely as the lamb of sacrifice that Jesus fulfills his role of shepherd, leading us through the cross to the Father, at whose right hand he sits.” Saying he was grateful to God for calling him to New Mexico, he added, “I am eager to listen to you and to learn from you how God has been working in your midst, calling you to new and ever-deepening life.” Archbishop Wester, 64, had headed the Salt Lake City Diocese, which encompasses the entire state of Utah, since 2007.

Pope Francis named him to succeed Archbishop Michael J. Sheehan. His installation Mass was celebrated at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi in Santa Fe. “Taking my cue from Pope Francis,” he said in his homily, “I realize there will be times when I lead from the front of the flock, or from behind, but always my place is squarely in your midst, giving thanks for your willingness to receive me, and assuring you of my desire to serve you to the best of my ability. Although he will miss the church in Utah, he said, “it is their love and their support that now will enable me to open myself to you, my brothers and sisters of this pilgrim church in the Southwest for years to come.” He mentioned that his father and friends, such as Sulpician Father Gene Konkel “and so many other family and friends in the Communion of Saints, are praying for me at this very moment. My Swedish father probably is tapping Father Gene on the shoulder and saying, ‘How did that square-head ever make it to Santa Fe.’ But I’m sure he’s also saying, ‘That’s my boy.’” Another theme of Archbishop Wester’s homily was that Catholics are

called “to serve the presence of God in the public square and to lead others to the good news that has found us and has taken hold of us. We who recognize the voice of the Good Shepherd are called to bring hope to the whole world, inviting others into the fold through our evangelization, our living of the Gospel,” he said. By pointing out God, who is in everything, to others, especially those who are suffering, he said, “we bring them evangelical hope; that is, we re-

mind them that they are not alone -Christ is there with them, and in the midst of it all, and he will never, ever abandon them.” When Catholics encounter strangers, “our first concern is not whether they have the proper documentation; our first concern is to welcome them and show them hospitality, and know that we are one with them in Jesus Christ,” he said. “That stranger is not always someone from another country. It can also be someone in our own family, our own parish, our own neighborhood.” He added that many people “in our midst” suffer from drug or alcohol addiction, fear of losing their employment, mental illness, bigotry or loneliness. The Catholic Church of Santa Fe has many other issues to address, including poverty, ensuring that the sanctity of human life is valued and upheld, and maintaining a safe environment for youth and young adults, he said. “In all of this, you and I are called not simply to point to the Good Shepherd, but to enlarge the fold, to help others realize that we are one, and we give of ourselves not out of charity, necessarily, but because we are one in Christ, united in love and mercy,” he said. Referencing Psalm 145, the arch-

bishop said justice and mercy must go together. “We must always show mercy to everyone, since God loves all his children, especially those who are most vulnerable, whose lives hang in the balance like a smoldering wick or a bruised reed, whether in the womb, living in the streets, or far from home,” he said. Archbishop Wester told the congregation he cannot be their bishop unless he is one with them. “And I can’t be one with you unless you embrace me as your bishop. I look forward to the years ahead as we journey with each other in the process of becoming one with Christ and one with each other, giving glory and praise to God as we are called to the Supper of the Lamb.” Ending his homily in Spanish, he said: “Please pray for me so I can keep following Christ, our good shepherd, giving myself completely to this faithful church of Santa Fe as your new pastor, so that in the upcoming years our loving God blesses and guides our steps as witnesses of the Lamb of God present in our midst in all the Southwest.” Copyright (c) 2015 Catholic News Service/U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops

lem. The solution is a radical change in our concept of what makes a person happy. We need to move away from the idea that the more things we have, the happier we’ll be,” Kane said. Archbishop Barreto expects some controversy once people read the document, because resisting the “throwaway culture” by being satisfied with less means “putting money at

the service of people, instead of people serving money.” “(The encyclical) will have many critics, because they want to continue setting rules of the game in which money takes first place,” he said. “We have to be prepared for those kinds of attacks.” Copyright (c) 2015 Catholic News Service/U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops
