2nd Sunday in Ordinary Time

Dear Parishioners,

As I mentioned last week, we are in the Ordinary Time of the Church year. It will last from now until Mardi Gras day (March 1, 2022). The Mardi Gras season is long this year, giving us more time to eat “King Cake.” Today’s readings from Sacred Scripture reveal the transformative effect God has upon the world. Isaiah prophesies that God will transform the Israelites and their land from “forsaken” to “espoused,” as a suitor rejoices in his bride. Saint Paul extols the gifts of the Holy Spirit, which transforms each person differently, but all to serve the same Lord. In the Gospel, Jesus transforms water into wine at a wedding in Cana, revealing His glory and inspiring His disciples to believe in Him. As we listen to God’s Word, let us reflect on how God will transform us and our world.

The office will be closed on Monday, January 17th in observance of the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday.

Have a Blessed Week!
