BAKER'S BITS - Z PERA OTCA BAKERA - January 12, 2020 - East River Catholics

January 7, 2020

1. Blessed be God! Last weekend we celebrated the Feast of the Epiphany and, for many, Rusyn Christmas. Today we celebrate the Baptism of our Lord. Today also marks the end of the Christmas season and the beginning of Ordinary Time which will continue until Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, February 26th.

2. Happy new year to all those who are following the Julian calendar and will celebrate the New Year on January 14th.

3. This weekend we celebrate the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord. At the end of the 10:30am Mass at St. Frances, Fr. Baker will bless the water. Then, all will process to the East River (near the Christmas Tree, Rivercross Lawn) to bless the waters of the East River which unite our parish - St. John Nepomucene and St. Frances Cabrini.
