January 12 - A central goal of Vatican Council II was to remind us of the beauty and significance of Baptism. This sacrament ties and dedicates us to Jesus. But because of that it also gives us roles and responsibilities to build the Kingdom of God. When you were blessed with Chrism during your Baptism you were designated a priest, prophet and king. So, you are a critical part of the spreading the good news and expanding the Church. Make this year a time when you volunteer to strengthen our two parishes. We have much we could do with you! It’s not my job alone, we are all in this together.
