Solemnity of the Epiphany of the Lord
Weekend of January 7/8, 2017
In today’s second reading we hear the teachings of Saint Paul to the members of the Church at Ephesus. He pro-claims that he, and they, are stewards of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and therefore stewards of God’s loving, unifying and inclusive grace. He also proclaims that the Holy Spirit is at work within each of them, if only they would be open to the Spirit. Today, our world races by with intolerance, violence, desperate poverty, fear and division. At the beginning of this New Year, perhaps it is appropriate to reflect on Saint Paul’s words and ask ourselves how we can be good stewards of the Gospel today. How will we allow the Holy Spirit to work within us? How can we be better stewards of Christ’s justice and peace?
Spiritual Bouquets: If you would like to
have your loved one remembered with a
Spiritual Bouquet in the “Loving Memory
Of” section of the bulletin, please use one of
the special envelopes in the back of the
church. Place your sealed envelope in the

the Parish Office. The Renewal period started on January 1,
2017. Requests will be accepted after January 1, 2017. The
