The Parishioners of Sacred Heart of Jesus & San Jose send their deepest and most heartfelt condolences and unite their prayers with the family and close friends of Rev. Fr. Augustine John Moore who passed away on Saturday, May 28, 2022 as he celebrated his 62nd year of ordination to the priesthood.

Rev. Fr. Augustine John Moore, Ph.D was ordained to the priesthood on May 28, 1960 at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi in Santa Fe. From that time Fr. Moore served in 9 parishes throughout the Archdiocese including 11 years as pastor of St. Patrick’s/St. Joseph’s parish in Raton, and 2 years as pastor of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Pojoaque.

In 1996 Fr. Moore was assigned as Pastor of Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish, where he would serve until his retirement in 2010. Father Moore passed away at his home in Mobile, Alabama this past Saturday.

The Priest: “To be a man of God, as Christ His only Son, Intimately united with the Three in One.

Despising naught but Satan and Sin; Loving all, for God, their souls to win; In these he satisfied man’s basic drives Perfectly aimed, to love God and Satan to despise.

The world is his world in which he lives But looked at through Christ’s eyes not his.” ~Fr. Augustine J. Moore

May he rest in eternal peace, and thank you for your many years of service to the people of God!
