Weekly News
Dear friends,
This Sunday we celebrate The Feast of the Baptism of Christ. John the Baptist baptises Jesus in the River Jordan and God's voice from heaven is heard saying that Jesus is his beloved Son. This moment at the beginning of Jesus' adult ministry follows on directly from the Feast of the Epiphany and both are ways in which the divine nature of Jesus is made manifest. Click here for Sunday's scripture readings.
