Bap sm of The Lord!

Importance of Bap sm:

We become oﬃcially Heirs of the

Kingdom of God.

We receive the Bap smal grace

and freed from original sin.

We will be a part of the Church

community.

We will share in the priesthood of

Christ.

We will have an “indelible spiritual

mark.”

We will be marked by the Holy

Spirit with the seal of the Lord.

We will receive the graces neces-sary to:

The Most Holy Trinity gives the

bap zed sanc fying grace, the

grace of jus ﬁca on:

– enabling us to believe in God, to hope in him, and to love him

through the theological virtues;

– giving us the power to live and act under the promp

ng of the Ho-ly Spirit through the gi s of the Holy Spirit;

– allowing us to grow in goodness through the moral virtues.

Renewal of our bap smal vows:

I renounce you, Satan,

all your angels,

all your powers,

all your worldly pomp,

all your corrupt teachings

and all that is from you.

I believe in you, O Almighty God, the Father,

in your Son, our Lord, Jesus Christ,

in your Holy and living Spirit, the Paraclete

in all your angels,

in all your powers, in all the teachings of the holy, catholic and

apostolic Church, and in all that is from you.

All are welcome to join us on Thursday mornings at 8:45am in Fr. Edwards Hall for one or all of Bishop Robert Barron’s Pivotal Players (season 2) series. This week’s pivotal player (Jan. 14) is St. Benedict.

A HUMBLE THANK YOU FROM PRO-LIFE

Dear parishioners of St. Raymond and St. Raymond-St. Elizabeth, This year we sold 61 boxes of Christmas Cards to support the pro-life billboards sponsored by Missouri Right to Life - a record in all our years of selling! YOU are the people of faith who kept Christ in Christmas; your cards reminded a dark and isolated world of the hope and promise of Emmanuel- GOD WITH US—this year. A very special thank you to "Super-Seller Mona" in the office.

God Bless each of you for your "yes" to life. On a sad note, Susan Metherd will no longer handle this Christmas card project for Missouri Right to Life, so we may not have cards next year. Please prayerfully discern if this is your calling. Call Jean Flanagan (314.965.3721) or Susan (314.894.2201) for more information.

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION ZOOM CLASSES

Each Sunday at 9:30am, Susan Dubois leads Faith and Heritage religious education classes over Zoom at 9:30am. Children in grades 2-5 are welcome. You can join with the following link (or contact Fr. John or Jen to send the link over email):
