Rev. Burke leaves St. Thomas Aquinas after six years
The Rev. James T. Burke, pastor at St. Thomas Aquinas Roman Catholic Church in Rio Rancho, is transferred to Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish in Taos. Burke, ordained in 1950, has led parishes across New Mexico, overseen a major church enlargement, and helped grow the Rio Rancho parish from 1,000 to 2,200 families. A reception was held in his honor, and a new St. Thomas pastor arrives in August.

German student finds niche with Rio Rancho host family
Isabel Sapieha, a German foreign exchange student, adjusted to life with the Korfe family in Rio Rancho after an initial mismatch. Tracy Korfe, a Cibola High School senior, helped integrate her while Sapieha practiced English, adjusted to new classes, and shared in family life. The exchange, arranged by Youth For Understanding International Exchange, reflects postwar ties and cultural learning through a 1951-founded program dedicated to international understanding.
