In addition, HTFH serves as a springboard for our annual Get Screened campaign, which is why many of the sponsorship benefits tie directly to promoting awareness about the need for proactive cancer screening. With cancer being New Mexico’s second leading cause of death, your support will play a vital role in saving lives in our state. From TV and radio PSAs, to digital ads on the Rail Runner, our Get Screened message reaches thousands of New Mexicans each year.
All funds raised will support Casa Esperanza’s mission of being a Home Away from Home for families facing cancer, kidney transplant, high risk pregnancies, and other serious medical needs.

Meditation is a practice. To improve our skills, we need to learn to focus, to let go and allow ourselves to go deep into our experience. It is one thing to do a guided meditation where someone takes you where they want you to go. It is another for a meditation instructor to give you a cue and then teach you to let go of the busy mind so that you may allow yourself to follow the cue. Brother Francis has over 40 years of experience teaching meditation. RSVP Brother Francis at (505) 220-2583 or email at iam.circleofgrace1@gmail.com
