Have you met Tommy Tafoya? Take a moment to get to know one of our community’s treasured unsung heroes.

A lifelong member of the Talpa community, Tommy has made a lasting impact through his work preserving the San Francisco de Asís Catholic Mission Church and serving as President of the Talpa Community Center and Library.

He is also deeply involved in acequias, working to protect and preserve our most precious resource, water.

Tommy gives selflessly, always stepping in where he’s needed without asking for recognition. We are truly grateful for all that he does.
