Sing

Sing for Joy! I Send You Out by John Angotti

Lyrics
1. I baptize you in the name of the Father,
I baptize you in the name of the Son.
I baptize you with the Holy Spirit.
Go out and spread Good News!

Refrain. I send you out on a mission of love,
I send you out on a mission of love.
I send you out on a mission of love,
and know that I am with you always
until the end of the world.

2. Well, it’s time for us to become people with Spirit.
It’s time for us to become people of love.
It’s time for us to know that Jesus Christ is risen,
forgives our sins and brings us new life!

Refrain. I send you out on a mission of love,
I send you out on a mission of love.
I send you out on a mission of love,
and know that I am with you always
until the end of the world.

Listen to The Duties of Parents from The Catechism in a Year by Fr. Mike Schmitz.

It's Only the Beginning

Saints devoted their lives to God. They show us how to live holy lives, just as Jesus taught us. Learn about Saint Nicholas. His feast day is December 6th.  St. Nicholas is known for his generosity. He is the patron saint of sailors because he calmed the stormy waters that threatened their lives. Nicholas is also the patron saint of children.
