Today’s Feast of the Baptism of the Lord marks the end of the Christmas season and the beginning of Ordinary Time. The first part of Ordinary Time will continue until March 5, which is Ash Wednesday.
Catechism classes for all groups resume today.
This Saturday, January 18, at 10:00, there will be a church cleaning session and the removal of Christmas decorations. All are welcome to help.
Pastoral visits are ongoing. Families can invite the priest to bless their homes.
Please note that there have been changes to the liturgical calendar as decided by the bishop. The Solemnity of the Epiphany is being celebrated today, and the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord will be celebrated next Sunday. Previous announcements regarding this are no longer valid.
There will be no catechism classes today. Classes will resume next Sunday, January 12.
Please remember to close the church entrance door to help maintain warmth.
There is a tradition of priests visiting families to bless their homes and for pastoral visits. This is an important moment in the life of the parish, helping to share experiences and strengthen connections within the community. If anyone wishes to invite a priest to their home, please contact me personally or by phone at +998 90 248 825. If, for any reason, this is not possible for you, I still want to meet with each parishioner and have a conversation in the parish premises.
Everyone is invited to participate in a parish cleanup day on January 18 to tidy up the church and dismantle the Christmas decorations. The work will begin at 10:00 AM.
