About the event
January invites us to start the year rooted in our baptismal identity. Coming right after the Epiphany and the Baptism of the Lord, we turn afresh to Jesus, who reveals the Father and anoints us with the Spirit for mission. Expect vibrant praise, Holy Mass, and extended adoration focused on thanksgiving for our baptism. The teaching explores how being baptised means being sent—called to holiness at home, courageous witness at work or uni, and generous service in the parish. We’ll renew baptismal promises, pray for a deeper release of the Spirit’s gifts, and offer opportunities for testimony and prayer ministry. Bring a journal for a short workshop on discerning your “Rule of Life” for 2026—simple commitments that keep you close to Christ and His Church. Start the year ready to proclaim the Good News in Melbourne: you are loved, chosen, and sent.
