Mission and Outreach
AIDS Caregiver Kits for Zambia www.worldvision.org
In partnership with World Vision, the Cathedral and other churches in the Northwest Deanery of the Rio Grande Diocese joined together in 2009 to raise money to provide AIDS Caregiver Kits to Zambia.
Zambia, is a landlocked African country with a high percentage of the population living and dying from AIDS. The caregivers—friends and family members of the patients--have an enormous need for the simple contents of these kits: latex gloves, Vaseline and a battery-powered flashlight, for example. Each kit can also include two types of date sensitive medicines that would otherwise be unavailable to them.

Ministering with Grace
Grace Camp is a special ministry tradition at Camp Stoney that services the children of those in prison.
Each summer as part of the Camp Stoney program, Grace Camp provides a week of inclusive Christian camping for “at risk” children, ages 8-13, who have one or both parents in prison.
Eligible campers are invited to the Sangre de Cristo Mountains outside of Santa Fe to enjoy a week of exciting summer camp. The trained camp counselors give special emphasis to helping increase the campers’ self-esteem and confidence. Campers are taught group cooperation, and are provided with alternatives to violent behavior. Grace Camp is a place where campers may experience — perhaps for the first time —unconditional love and forgiveness. See also "Camp Stoney."
