From The Pastor’s Desk
Dear Parishioners,
Last week we celebrated the Epiphany which means manifestation. This Feast helps us
understand who Jesus is. The gifts shows us that He is King (Gold), He is God (Frankincense),
He will suffer and die for us (Myrrh). Today's Feast of the Baptism of the Lord is a Theophany, a revelation of the divine sonship of Jesus by his anointing and commissioning to His
messianic office. His Baptism elevates us to the status of son and daughters of God.
This Sunday, we celebrate the Baptism of the Lord. At our own baptism, we take on a new life
in Christ Jesus. Although most of us were baptized as a baby, our parents and godparents
made a commitment to Jesus for us. Every Sunday, we renew this commitment to Jesus when
we recite the creed at Mass. Like Jesus’ baptism, we are given to God as His own sons and
daughters. Even if we fail in our commitment with Jesus, He will never tire of forgiving and
loving us. “And a voice came from heaven, ’You are my beloved son; with you I am well
pleased.’”
Tomorrow, we begin the period of Ordinary Time in our liturgical year. Ordinary Time begins on Monday, January 11, and continues through Tuesday, February 9, before giving way to
Ash Wednesday and lent. It then resumes the day after Pentecost, when the Easter season
ends. This year, that day will be Monday, May 16. Despite the name, Ordinary Time is not
actually “ordinary” at all. It is meant to emphasize the critical nature of the Sunday celebration,
while the periods of Lent and Advent mark the importance of specific parish mysteries. In
Ordinary Time, we realize the significance of Sunday, the identifying mark of our Christian
community, as we come together to remember that on the first day of the week the Lord was
raised up and creation came to completion. Sunday is meant to be a day of worship and a
sacrament of redeemed time. It is simultaneously a point of arrival and departure for us, as we
close out one week with the celebration of the Eucharist and begin another anew. As
previously stated, there is nothing “ordinary” about this time – it is the very fiber of our
Catholic living.
Thank you to all of those who made donations to the St. Vincent de Paul Society this
Christmas. Just as Mary and Joseph were poor and were given help, we too must also help
those in our community who are in need.
As a reminder, our school will be holding an Open House on Sunday, January 31, from
10:30am to 2:00pm. New families are encouraged to attend and discover the best that St.
Christopher’s School has to offer. Current students and teachers will be there to provide a
look at our school community and answer any questions you may have about St.
Christopher’s. Please also note that we will be accepting registrations at the Open House.
God Bless,
Msgr. Steve
Good Stewardship
St. Christopher’s School News
“Bearing Christ to One Another”
“John answered then all, “I baptize you with
water, but He who is mightier than I is
coming...He will baptize you with the Holy
Spirit.” (Luke 3;16)
The Catholic Catechism state that “Jesus’
immersion in the water is a sign for all human
beings of the need to die to themselves to do
God’s will.” In other words, as baptized
Catholics there is only one gift that we need to
give Jesus - the gift of ourselves. Once we
surrender ourselves to God, we will know in
our hearts what God calls us to do.
Weekly Prayer
The heavens are opened and the Spirit of God
comes to rest upon Jesus,
Spirit of God, rest upon us.
For all who have been baptized by water and
the fire of the Holy Spirit,

March For Life
Why We March
On Friday, January 22th, 2016 believers from all
faiths and backgrounds will join together in
Washington D.C. on the Center Mall and

defenseless are not insured the gift of life in
the United States of America today.
The bus for St. Christopher’s will leave
St. Agnes parish on Friday January 22 after a
5:30 am Mass held in the cathedral.
Parking is available in the parking lot.
We will return approximately 11 pm that
evening. Start 2016 off with a trip to our
nation’s capital. It is not too late to join us.

Year of Mercy
Right to Life
Prayer of Pope Francis
for the Jubilee
Later this month, hundreds of thousands of
Lord Jesus Christ,
you have taught us to be merciful like the
heavenly Father, and have told us that whoever
sees you sees Him. Show us your face and we
will be saved. Your loving gaze freed Zacchaeus
and Matthew from being enslaved by money;
the adulteress and Magdalene from seeking
happiness only in created things; made Peter
weep after his betrayal, and assured Paradise to
the repentant thief. Let us hear, as if addressed
to each one of us, the words that you spoke to
the Samaritan woman: “If you knew the gift of
God!”
You are the visible face of the invisible Father,
of the God who manifests his power above all
by forgiveness and mercy: let the Church be
your visible face in the world, its Lord risen and
glorified. You willed that your ministers would
also be clothed in weakness in order that they
may feel compassion for those in ignorance
and error: let everyone who approaches them
feel sought after, loved, and forgiven by God.
Send your Spirit and consecrate every one of us
with His anointing, so that the Jubilee of Mercy
may be a year of grace from the Lord, and your
Church, with renewed enthusiasm, may bring
good news to the poor, proclaim liberty to
captives and the oppressed, and restore sight
to the blind.
We ask this of you, Lord Jesus, through the
intercession of Mary, Mother of Mercy; you
who live and reign with the Father and the
Holy Spirit for ever and ever.
Amen.
Americans will travel to our nation’s Capitol to
stand up for those without a voice and to stand
up for the dignity of all human life.
The media will not cover this on the 5:00pm
news. The March for Life may even go
unnoticed to the media entirely. As Catholics, it
is our duty to stand up for the defenseless
and for the dignity of all human life from
conception until natural death.
43 years ago in 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court,
through the Roe V. Wade decision, legalized
abortion throughout the United states. Since
that date, more then 50,000,000 babies have
been stripped of the gift of life through
abortion.
The Right to Life movement is not around to
discriminate against those who support
abortion and those who have had an abortion.
But, this movement is a voice for those who
cannot speak up. We are to treat all who have
had an abortion with love and forgiveness, just
as the Father does.
The March for Life is a very important
event for life. Please consider joining fellow
parishioners, Catholics, and Americans in
Washington DC.
Together, we can stand up for life. Let us
continue to pray for an end to abortion in the
United States and throughout the world.
