Parish News: The Baptism of the Lord and First Week of the Year

At the Baptism of Jesus the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are all present and active; it shows us that Jesus truly is the ‘the Lamb of God’ who will take away the sins of the world. In our own baptism, we are joined for ever to his saving work and power. 

Sunday School begins again this week.

You can read the scriptures for this week here.

Please pray for:
The sick and those in need
Conor, Chinye, Adelida, Jason, Rod, Edny, John, Yen, John, Sarah & Reece.

The Faithful departed
The recently departed, all who have worshipped in and served at Saint Benet’s and those whose year’s mind falls this week.

Many thanks indeed to Father Gywn Clement SSC for singing the Mass this Sunday whilst Father Guy is on holiday. Weekday masses resume on Monday 16th January. 

The cover art is The Baptism of Christ by El Greco (Domenikos served at Saint Benet’s and those Theotokopoulos), 1597 – 1600, held at the Museo Nacional del Prado, Madrid.
