THANK YOU FROM FATHER MIREK
The birth of Christ reminds us of the precious gift of God’s love.

THE BAPTISM OF THE LORD
Sunday January 11th
Today, the Church celebrates the Feast of the Baptism of Our Lord. This feast brings an end to the season of Christmas. The Church recalls Our Lord's second manifestation or epiphany which occurred at the time of His baptism in the Jordan. Jesus descended into the river to sanctify its waters and to give them the power to beget sons of God. The event takes on the importance of a second creation in which the entire Trinity intervenes. (Catholic Culture- January 2026)
