Epiphany of the Lord

Dear Parishioners,

The Christmas season officially ends tomorrow, the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord. Today, the Church celebrates the Feast of the Epiphany. Today’s feast illuminates God’s particular revelations for the good of all. God chose one nation, the people of Israel, to be a light for all peoples. God revealed Jesus as king to the Magi. The bright star in the sky drew the Magi from their distant kingdom to see the newborn King and offer Him their treasures. We were drawn here today by our King, Christ the Lord, and we offer Him our treasure—our hearts, our hopes, and our lives. As God continues to touch and bless each of us, let us consider how His light may shine through us to others.

The second collection this weekend is for the BUILDING MAINTENANCE fund.

CONGRATULATIONS to the Msgr. Jean Eyraud Knights of Columbus Council # 2436 who will celebrate their 100th Anniversary on Saturday, January 14, 2023. The Knights of Columbus was established on January 14, 1923. The Knights will gather on Saturday, January 14, 2023 for Mass at the 5:00 P.M. Vigil Mass and a banquet will follow at the KC Home. The Knights spear head the food drive, Thanksgiving Baskets, Christmas Baskets and gifts. They do many other “behind-the-scenes” activities as well. I encourage and invite any man 18 years old or older to join the Knights of Columbus, if you haven’t done so already.

Have a Blessed Week!
