St. John the Baptist

On the feast of the Passion of St. John the Baptist (Aug. 29), we present this original poem by Br. Stephen Camara, MIC

John the Baptist knew Jesus and spoke the truth that he saw. We celebrate his nativity on June 24.

We celebrate the Baptism of the Lord on Jan. 8 this year. Jesus's Baptism stresses necessity of the Sacrament in removing original sin.

Jesus once said, “Among those born of women no one has arisen greater than John the Baptist.” Fr. Anthony Gramlich, MIC, shares some details of the life of this amazing saint, who is celebrated on June 24.
