Message from Fr. John Chrysostom Tibakunirwa, Parish Administrator
|
|
Today we come to celebrate the Feast of the Epiphany of the Lord. We are invited to pray on this Day of revelation to be women and men of manifestation ourselves. It is not so much what gifts do we have to present to Jesus, but what gifts has God given us to reveal to others, some particular feature of God's personality. We are receivers and yet Christ has come to make us gifts offered back to the giver.
|
Epiphany means "discovery" and that makes the story of the Magi our story. Like them, attentive to our call and hunger for "more" and faithful to the struggles that are part of our life journey, we too come to find the wisdom and power of God in the poverty, vulnerability and the beauty of God become human in a little child. We, too, can never be the same again.

Remembering the Homebound at Christmastime
We have a list of parishioners who are homebound, and if you are interested in either sending them a note or card, calling them to chat, or visiting (with* or without a gift), their names will be on the Giving Tree in the Dickinson Street foyer (if the tree is in decent shape). You have until January 7th (a.k.a. known as “Little Christmas” – The Epiphany) to reach out.
|
|
*Candies are always a hit, or some hand crème, or pens, stamps, note cards, and the like. Perhaps a call prior to a visit would be best, to ensure what you are thinking of bringing will work best.
