Sisters and brothers, on this feast of Epiphany the magi come from afar to adore the Christ child. Like them, we have journeyed to this sacred place to witness the manifestation of Christ in word and sacrament. with Christmas joy we lift up our hearts and voices in worship and praise.
Even in the darkness of war and terrorism, today's scriptures shine forth as a beacon of light and peace. As these holy words are proclaimed, let us ask God to shine the light of peace upon lands and people who daily live in fear.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who helped with our Christmas Celebrations. The Arts and Environment, Musicians, Eucharistic Ministers and Parishioners attending Masses on al days including January 1st, the Feast of Mary the Mother of Goda and World day of Peace.
A heartfelt thank you to all for your generosity and kindness to us over the days of Christmas and New Year. May God's blessings be with you always.
A very special thanks to those donating to the ongoing Food Pantry Ministry and Aluminum Cans. These two projects provide food for the needy and helps the environment by recycling. Keep up the good work and God bless you for your thoughtfulness.
