Warm greetings once more from all at St. Anthony’s. I say “warm” in the hope that friendly words will compensate a little for the chilling wind and snow that we have being experiencing. Below freezing temperatures, early morning followed by […]

Greetings once more from a very, very cold Zuni. We wish all our friends everything that is good in 2023. We fell behind in correspondence during December and I apologize for the delay in replying to letters. Thankfully, we have […]

“A Child is born for you, he is Christ the Lord” I remember vividly my visit to Bethlehem in 1999. The splendor of the churches and the excitement among our pilgrims faded as I stared at the tiny spot within […]

Greetings once again from all at St. Anthony’s where ‘time stands still for no man’, as the old saying goes. On a visit to one of the stores in Gallup, I found Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas decorations all on sale […]

As always I send warm greetings from the High Desert, as we near the end of the first quarter of our school year. While I am put away my light weight summer clothes and long sleeved shirts are put back […]

Sometimes I feel all I can do is sit back and scratch my head in wonder! I had our August newsletter all written and ready to send when our printing machine decided to give up the ghost. It took the […]

Thankfully the students are back “bright eyed and bushy tailed”! Well at least full of energy and all say they are happy to be back in school. I suspect their parents are truly delighted also. This has been a long […]

Greetings once more from the high desert and all at St. Anthony’s. I write ‘all’ but essentially I am the only resident on campus. The students are still on vacation, our two sisters from India are still enjoying their well-earned […]

Dear Friends I give thanks to the Lord and to you that we have concluded yet another successful year at St. Anthony’s School. I really need to share with you some of the “goings-on” of these few weeks. As I […]

Greetings from Zuni bathed in May sunshine within and around us. On Sunday I noticed luxuriant grass growing at the roadside. Where the water was found to nourish it is a mystery since there is very little to be found […]

Greetings once again from spring time in Zuni. (Sounds like a good title for a song!) Again, let me apologize for yet another tardy letter this month. While writing to you is always a priority for me, our staff have […]

Greetings once more from the high desert. I apologize for once again being late in sending out our newsletter. We have been snowed under in many senses of that expression, from storms to machines breaking down just when you need […]

Warm greetings from Zuni where we transition between snow and ice to bright sunshine on a daily basis! It adds to the excitement of waking up to a new day with all the blessings that it will bring. Indeed every […]

A most happy and blessed New Year to you!   So far 2022 seems to be moving at a remarkable speed, or perhaps it’s just my age telling me to slow down and enjoy each day as it comes. Good […]

It is again my joy and privilege to send you warm Christmas greetings from St. Anthony Zuni Mission School. Thoughts of the flight of the Holy Family into Egypt fill my mind this Christmas. Their journey of faith first took […]

Greetings once more from all of us at St Anthony’s, where spirits are high but temperatures are low! I am speaking about both the weather and of course our daily Covid check on students and staff. We are grateful that both […]

Greetings from the Zuni Pueblo where the crisp feel of autumn is in the air, and the oaks and cottonwoods are flaming yellows and burnished golds. I returned from my trip to Scotland to find the buildings still standing, the […]

Blessings of Peace from St. Anthony’s. I have wanted to begin a newsletter with just such a greeting for a long time. Today as I wander through the School and find each grade hard at work in class, the cafeteria […]

I have such a sense of relief, joy, concern, hope and faith all mixed together as I bring you the wonderful news that St. Anthony’s has reopened once more with 140 students present for “in person” learning! Among those mixed […]

Greetings from a wonderfully wet Zuni! Yes, we’ve had several days of good rain and pray that it continues. Our local Rain Dances must have encouraged the reluctant clouds. Many parts of New Mexico and neighboring states are still dangerously […]
