Pastor The celebration of The Baptism of Our Lord seems a little strange.
Reverend Paul G. Seaman Baptism, as we know it, brings us into God’s Family “In the name
frpaul@stgeorge60477.org of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” Clearly, when
John the Baptist baptized Jesus, it was something different. John
Pastor Emeritus
was calling people to repentance, a healing of a broken

relationship with God. The baptism Jesus inaugurated was
Associate Pastor different. The baptism we celebrate is one of welcoming and inclusion. While
Reverend Tomasz Puslecki forgiveness of Original Sin is certainly part of baptism, it is entrance into the
frtom@stgeorge60477.org community of faith and adoption as a child of God that overshadows all else.
In baptism, we make (or our parents make) a promise to commit our life to God
Deacons
and the Christian way of life within the Catholic Church. Parents stand before

and his neighbor as Christ taught us.” (Order of Baptism) Some Christian
Joe Panek communities do not baptize infants because they believe a person should be

making this promise consciously, for themselves. That makes sense. However,
Thomas Schutzius since the time of Saint Augustine, the Catholic Church has emphasized the

From my own experience, I know this to be true. I was six years old when my

Fax: 708-532-2025 much happier and joyous not because I have all the answers, but I know I
cpratl@stgeorgeschool.org am not alone.
If I had not been brought to church regularly, my mother’s funeral would have
taken place in a strange and unfamiliar building, filled with statues staring blankly
at me, with no sense of comfort. The Mass would have been alien to me and its
effects only confusing and frightening. Children deserve better than that, not in
case of a funeral but for the general questions and qualms of growing up.
We see a world were those questions and qualms come more frequently and
fiercely. With the breakdown of families, respect for authority, loss of trust in
seemingly every institution, where can a person find a guiding star to make
sense of all this? And more so, a way to make it better? God is that beautiful gift.
And we first encounter Him in our baptism.

Looking for a way to decrease your Illinois state income tax liability? What if you could decrease what you owe to
the state and potentially increase your state tax refund, while also helping fund scholarships for low-income
students to attend the Catholic school of their choice?
The Illinois invest in kids tax credit scholarship program awarded scholarships to more than 9,300 students in the
first four years. This year, as a global pandemic has created so many uncertainties in our society, you can still
invest in a brighter future for children from our most vulnerable communities. By contributing through the Illinois
Invest in Kids program you can make the lifelong advantage of a Catholic school education possible.
Thanks to the generosity of several donors, between December 1, 2021 and February 28, 2022,
you can take advantage of a 2-for-1 matching gift program that will triple the impact of your gift!
Limitations apply. A donation can be made using cash, check, appreciated stock or credit card.
