Feast of the Baptism of the Lord – January 12th, 2025
Today, we celebrate the Baptism of the Lord.  At the beginning of Jesus’ public ministry, after he was baptized in the Jordan River, we hear God say, “You are my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
At the beginning of our Christian lives, when we are baptized, God also calls us his sons and daughters.  As we conclude this Christmas Season, let us be ever mindful of God’s baptismal call on our lives, and step out in faith to do His will.
This weekend is commitment Sunday for the National Appeal.  If you brought back your commitments for the National Appeal today, please place those envelopes into the collection basket.
