Sunday 12/01/2025 The Baptism of The Lord
It happened in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized in the Jordan by John. On coming up out of the water he saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit, like a dove, descending upon him. And a voice came from the heavens, “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.”
Mark 1:9–11
Reflection: The Feast of the Baptism of the Lord is a liturgical bridge that connects the Christmas season to Ordinary Time. During the Christmas season we pondered the Incarnation, Nativity, Presentation in the Temple, and Epiphany.
Today, we see Jesus manifesting Himself to the world as He began His three years of public ministry.
Lord, I thank You for Your humble act of baptism by which You opened the Heavens to all who are sinners.
May I open my heart to the unfathomable grace of my own baptism each and every day and more fully live with You as a child of the Father, filled with the Holy Spirit.
Jesus, I trust in You.

Firstly a hearty welcome to all who have moved into our parishes in recent times!
Many thanks for visiting our Parish website.
This site has been designed with three aims:
Firstly to aid the work of our priests in our parishes in preaching the word of Jesus and their teaching of His message to us.
Secondly to aid parents, children and adults as our children and young adults prepare for the Sacraments
and also for adults who are preparing for that go to make up our community.
Thirdly to reflect the wider community among whom we live and the various activities and organisations that go to make up our community.
We acknowledge and respect the diversity of faiths and origins in our multi-faith and multi-ethnic community.
We invite your views and contributions on church and parish life.
Also as this site was built with limited resources there may be aspects that could be improved – do let us know.
