The Baptism of the Lord
Since Jesus Christ is God and had no sins, He also had no need of the baptism of John, which was symbolic of a repentant heart. Yet in accepting John’s baptism, Jesus brings the whole of humanity before God in humility. The Spirit did descend upon Him, but not as an indwelling, as the Son was already One with the Spirit. Rather, it was an anointing for His mission as the Christ and Redeemer as the God-Man. In our Baptism, however, we do receive the indwelling of the Holy Spirit and are configured to Christ, thus becoming Children of God.

Diocesan Synod
The Diocese of Dallas continues its preparations for the Dallas Synod this year, Bishop Burns has asked that Catholics in the diocese pray for the successor of the synod and the growth of the Catholic faith in our diocese.
The pastoral plan will conclude on December 12, 2031, with a large Mass to celebrate the 500th anniversary of our Lady of Guadalupe’s appearance in San Juan Diego and the conclusion of this decade-long journey of faith and revitalization.
Our Lady of Guadalupe… Pray for us.

Pre-Baptismal Classes-2025
Pre-Baptismal classes are designed to help parents and godparents understand their important roles in the baptism of their children. They will learn about the importance of the sacrament and how to guide their children through a lifelong relationship with God and the Catholic Church. We believe that through these classes, parents and godparents will be able to understand better their responsibility to the spiritual formation of their children. We encourage everyone to take advantage of this opportunity to learn more about the Catholic faith and to become better prepared for the baptism of their children.
The classes are now scheduled for the second Thursday of each month.
"The next English and Spanish classes will be on January 16, at 7 p.m." Registration is required. Please contact Diane Salazar in the Family Life office at 972-279-6581, x107, or email DianeS@stmichaelgarland.org.
There are no baptisms scheduled in December
If your child is older than 6 years, contact Sherri Williams, extension 108, or Georgina Salinas extension 109.
