WEEKLY REFLECTION

The Baptism Of Our Lord

01-12-2025 | Very Rev. Richard C. Wilson, VF, Pastor

Dear Friends in Christ,

Today, we look at an adult Jesus. The child of the manger has grown to manhood and reaches that place in life when He must embark on the divine commission entrusted to Him by the Father. In preparation, He joins the candidates who have responded to John the Baptist in the Jordan River, who were submitting to baptism at his hands to wash away their sins.

Eucharistic Adoration
We have an urgent need for someone at 4 pm on Mondays! To sign up for this or a different hour, please click here.
