Mission Statement
Under the protection of the Mother of God, we are a
faith community called by the
Father, energized by the Son, and moved by the Spirit to
unite in witnessing and proclaiming the Good News.
We share in friendship, gather in worship, and do pro-
claim our desire to minister, welcome, celebrate and
extend His Kingdom.

Dear Parishioners,
The Feast of Epiphany is celebrated this weekend and it is always valuable what we
can learn from the Wise Men. Like all characters found in scripture, they have
much to teach us. The story of the Magi is, most likely, meant by Matthew to
instruct us on how we are to be Christian. The Magi represent several aspects of the Christian
faith journey.
First, they remind us of the need to look for Jesus. That is a search that is never ending. It is
interesting that the early church celebrated the mystagogia for new members. This was a process
in which converts, after being baptized, communed and confirmed, continued to walk in a spirit
of discovery. The point being, there is no person who cannot be led to a deeper understanding of
the Lord. The story of the wise men is a story of those who kept searching. They traveled far to
discover the Lord. On our personal faith journey, what costs are we willing to pay to discover the
Lord in our own lives?
Secondly, they show us that we need to look for God in the most unlikely of places. It had to
strain their faith to recognize that their search for the newborn king would end in a small town in
Bethlehem but they certainly were open to whatever they were shown. How many of us limit our
chance to encounter Christ in places we would not search? Perhaps we run from recognizing him
in the crosses we carry. Perhaps we turn from seeing him in the face of the poor and needy. In any
event, Epiphany reminds us that God is revealed where we least expect it.
Finally, they remind us of the need to give of ourselves. The magi brought gifts to the
newborn king. We too must bring what we have to share, even if that is the humblest of talents.
May each of us learn from this story and become the wise men and women that the world needs.
In Christ,
Father Mike
