Most Holy Trinity
Dear Epiphany Family, I write on the beautiful Solemnity of Pentecost and this article appears here for the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity, two awesome feasts which draw us closer to God, Who is love, unity, and a union and communion of Persons. Through our baptism we share in the life of the Trinity […]
Pentecost
Dear Epiphany Family, Happy Solemnity of Pentecost! The outpouring of the Holy Spirit is still available to us today. We are tem-ples of the Holy Spirit and when we invite the Spirit into every aspect of our lives we are consoled, guided, loved, given power, and more. Come, Holy Spirit! Come Holy Spirit, and renew […]
Sixth Sunday of Easter
Dear Epiphany Family, Congratulations and blessings to our eight young people who were confirmed this past Saturday and our 10 children who received their First Holy Communion this past Sunday! It is a great joy for me as a pastor to see our children draw closer to Jesus and deeper life with Him through the […]
5th Sunday of Easter
Dear Epiphany Family, We thank and praise God for the gift of Fr. Melwin and his service here at Epiphany! His “yes” to the Lord, first given in India, has helped bring Jesus to our parish family in a powerful way. Let us both congratulate him and most importantly pray for him as he prepares […]
Easter Sunday of the Resurrection of the Lord
Dear Epiphany Family, HAPPY EASTER! The traditional greeting on Easter morning is “Christ is risen” to which one responds, “He is risen indeed. Alleluia!” This ancient greeting recalls the greeting of the angel to Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James and Joseph as they arrived at the tomb to anoint the body of […]
Palm Sunday
Dear Epiphany Family, It is hard to believe that we have already made it to Holy Week. It is always so beautiful as we recall, enter into, and accompany Jesus through the Paschal Mystery, his passion, death, and resurrection. Last year was a very difficult Holy Week as we were unable to gather for Masses […]
Fifth Sunday of Lent
Dear Epiphany Family, It has been such a blessing to see more people coming back to Mass over the last few weeks. What a blessing that more of our family has been together in person as we assemble as the Body of Christ and offer the sacrifice of Christ to the Father. My hope and […]
Third Sunday of Lent & Year of St. Joseph
Dear Epiphany Family, If you had not heard, on just this past Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception (December 8, 2020), Pope Francis announced a Year of St. Joseph in honor of the 150th anniversary of the saint’s proclamation as patron of the Universal Church. The Pope established a Year of St. Joseph so that “every […]
2nd Sunday of Lent
Dear Epiphany Family, This time of the year new priestly assignments begin to take shape for July. I was called last year by Bishop Thomas mid-March about coming to Epiphany. Assigning priests has become more challenging in recent years with numbers of priests going on senior status (retiring from an active ministry assignment/responsibility) outnumbering new […]
Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Dear Epiphany Family, It is hard to believe that we are almost into Lent (Ash Wednesday is this Wednesday, February 17th)! Lent is always a time to turn back our hearts more fully to our Lord Jesus Christ, allowing Him more room to change and transform us, as well as remembering the new life we […]
