Parish News: Baptism of the Lord and 1st Week of the Year

January 9, 2022 by Guy Willis

Jesus is baptised, not because like us he needs to be, but to show who he is – God’s own Son and very self. By being baptised he makes it a holy thing for us that joins us to him for ever, and each day the church is growing as more people become members of his Body through Holy Baptism.

You can read the scripture readings for this Sunday here.

Sunday school returns this week and will take place every Sunday: very many thanks to all our wonderful volunteers for making this possible!

Confirmation Mass 2022 Bishop Jonathan is coming to Baptise and Confirm on Sun 27th Feb 2022 at 11am. Speak to Father Guy if you are interested in exploring this or email him: father.guy@saintbenets.org.uk 

The cover art this week is Baptism of Christ (1608-1614) by El Greco, made towards the end of his life in Toledo and completed by his son Jorge Manuel Theotocópuli. Held in the Hospital de Tavera in Toledo.
