ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — The Archdiocese of Santa Fe is cutting 20 positions and ending publication of its “People of God” magazine. Archbishop John C. Wester announced the layoffs in a letter to parishioners Monday. Wester wrote that the layoffs include six positions in the Pastoral Ministries Division, five in the General Services Division and three each in the Office of the Vicar General and Office of the Chancellor. Rev. Vincent Paul Chávez, pastor of the St. Therese Little Flower Catholic Church, says the archdiocese’s income has been adversely affected by the coronavirus pandemic, which has limited in-church attendance.
