What a wonderful Catechetical Sunday. Thanks and blessings to all our Teachers and helpers. And an extra treat to have Fr Chris Bohnsak for the homily & con-celebrating at the 11:30 mass. Our youth Chior added a beauty to our music ministry.
These are great pictures of very hard working people
It was a great day.

Fr. Gilbert and St. Anthony Society parishioners on a their Pennsylvania trip. Day 1 & 2. Looks like you are having a great time!
Enjoy the Jesus show, it was wonderful when we were there
What a great group of friends. I wish we could have gone but the Reqiuem practice comes first
We are having a very good time!!
Our first Religious Education class of the year begins at 10 am! Please pray for all the students and catechists. We're grateful that both of our priests will be on hand to welcome everyone back this year.
Parishioner, Adrian Zapata, underwent surgery for brain cancer 2 years ago. Now a cancer survivor, Adrian and his family are in a promotional video for Make-a-Wish. Just last night, their family was acknowledged at a gala for Promedica and Make-a-Wish.
During his treatment, another wish came true and Adrian prepared for his sacraments. In spring of 2018, he made First Holy Communion and Confirmation at Epiphany of the Lord. Adrian and his parents, Josh and Veronica Sinift, have made faith a priority in dealing with their difficult journey. You can hear them mention faith and praying in this video.
Take time to pray for all those battling cancer and their families. Pray for continued health for those in remission from cancer.

Thanks to our catechists who came out today to prep their classrooms for the upcoming Religious Education year. Teen catechist, Izzy Duvendack, even prepped the 4th/5th grade grade room after helping her mom in their 2nd grade classroom.
Everyone is very excited about the new curricula we're using this year. 1st-5th grades will use Discover! by St. Mary's Press while 6th-8th grades will use Catholic Connections by the same publisher.
The 4th/5th grade and 7th grade rooms are still waiting for lead catechists. Kathy Fech will be calling some parishioners in the days ahead to help them discern if this ministry is right for them. Maybe God is nudging you and you have been hesitant to volunteer. Regardless, please consider contacting Kathy today to see about helping!
Do you have a 2nd or 8th grader preparing for First Holy Communion or Confirmation? Don't forget that Sacramental Preparation meetings are either today (Sunday, 1 PM) or Tuesday (6:30 PM). Meetings are in the St. Thomas Aquinas Church Hall.
These meetings are mandatory and both the child and student must be present. No makeup sessions will be offered so don't miss out! Please contact Kathy Fech at kfech@epiphanyofthelord.org or 419-698-1519 ext. 202 with questions or concerns.
Kathy and Fr. Melwin look forward to getting to know your family during this important time in your child's faith journey.
We have many Cardinal Stritch alumni and families in our parish. Consider supporting our deanery school and ordering some great gear in the meantime. They also make great gifts for your parish priests!
Contact parishioner, Jenny Wasserman, with questions.

Do you or a family member need to register for the parish? Are you interested in volunteering as a lector or training as an altar server? Need to drop off your child's Religious Education registration? Still need help downloading the parish app? Have questions about enrolling your child at Cardinal Stritch?
You can do all those things and more tomorrow during the Birmingham Ethnic Festival!! Simply stop by our new Evangelization Booth on the lawn of the parish rectory!! The booth will be manned from 1-5 pm while tours of St. Stephen are going on. We look forward to serving your needs!
Please come everyone!!🌈

Today, our parish staff gathered to nourish their souls, minds, and bodies. First, we had a Mass where we celebrated the Feast of St. Stephen of Hungary- one of our church's namesakes. Fr. Gilbert invited the staff to offer up our petitions and, during the Liturgy of the Eucharist, encouraged us to offer to God our gifts and talents as well as our hurts and struggles. By beginning our day with the Holy Mass we were spiritually ready to do our work.
After Mass was a "meeting of the minds" for our monthly staff meeting. While we had already broken bread together in the Holy Eucharist, we ended the meeting with a community lunch.
Please pray for all of us as we collaborate to use our talents to serve the parish and community!
Happy Feast Day to the staff of Epiphany of the Lord!! May God continue to bless you all as well as our parish family💕
Is this weekend the Birmingham fest?
Would love to come to mass if it is in Hungarian
Blessed Memorial of Saint Stephen of Hungary!
“Be humble in this life, that God may raise you up in the next. Be truly moderate and do not punish or condemn anyone immoderately. Be gentle, so that you may never oppose justice. Be honourable, so that you may never voluntarily bring disgrace upon anyone. Be chaste, so that you may avoid all the foulness of lust like the pangs of death.”
Grant your Church, we pray, almighty God, that she may have Saint Stephen of Hungary, who fostered her growth while a king on earth, as her glorious defender in heaven. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Very thankful for St. Stephen bringing Christianity to the Magyar people.
Grandmas Church
Amen 🙏
