Parish News for the Baptism of the Lord
This Sunday we celebrate the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord. In the Gospel reading, we hear of Jesus’ baptism by John the Baptist in the river Jordan. Let us recall our own baptism and take to heart the words of our heavenly Father, ‘This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.’
