Parish News for the First Week in Ordinary Time

January 9, 2025 by James Elston in Weekly News

This Sunday is the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord. Jesus is baptised by John the Baptist in the River Jordan and a voice from heaven is heard to say, ‘You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.’
At Epiphany Jesus is revealed as a light for the nations and here at his Baptism he is revealed as God’s son.
This Sunday brings to a close the Christmas season, the gold will be put away as we return to the green of Ordinary Time on Monday. Click here for the scripture readings.
