INVITE SOMEONE YOU LOVE TO MASS!

Lent is a time that we all are given the chance by God to experience change! This is not only the season of prayer but a time to accept letting go of all that is holding us back from his forgiving love. Who are we to be that obstacle for someone who we care and love from experiencing God's Unconditional Love. So our parish community along with our Pastor challenge you to invite Someone You Love To The Truth Of God's Love! The Church Is a Hospital For Sinners! Invite Them To Experience The Summit Of Their Week! Bring Someone You Love To Sunday Mass!

WHAT IS EPIPHANY?

The name Epiphany comes from the Greek epiphaneia, meaning “appearance” or “manifestation,” and refers to the manifestation of Jesus Christ to the world. The holiday is also called the Feast of Epiphany, Theophany, or Three Kings' Day. Epiphany is one of the Church's major and spectacular feasts. It occurs on January 6th, the final day of the 12 days of Christmas (in some locations it is transferred to the Sunday between January 2 - 8). In some places it is also called Twelfthnight or Three Kings Day.

THE FEAST OF THE EPIHPHANY!

The Feast of the Epiphany is celebrated on January 6. This feast commemorates the visit of the wise men to worship the baby Jesus. Tradition tells us that their names were Caspar, Melchior and Balthassar. The men were astrologers who were looking for the star that would lead them to the promised Messiah. This was prophesied in the Book of Micah. According to the Gospel narratives, the wise men brought gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh with them. These gifts were very meaningful. Gold was a precious and expensive gift, and showed how important Jesus was. Frankincense is a sweet perfume which was often burned in the temple to worship God. It was a sign that Jesus should be worshipped. Myrrh was used to keep things fresh, and it was used by the women to anoint Jesus’ body when he died. By bringing it as a gift to Jesus, the wise men foretold his suffering and death.​
