What is the Feast of the Epiphany?
This feast commemorates the mysterious visit of the magi to the Baby Jesus. The traditional date of Epiphany is January 6, but in the United States it is celebrated on the Sunday between January 2 and January 8. “Epiphany” means “manifestation.” It comes from Greek roots that mean "to show, to display" (phainein) and "on, to" (epi-). An epiphany is thus a time when something is shown, displayed, or manifested to an audience.
According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church: The Epiphany is the manifestation of Jesus as Messiah of Israel, Son of God and Savior of the world. The great feast of Epiphany celebrates the adoration of Jesus by the wise men (magi) from the East, together with His baptism in the Jordan, and the wedding feast at Cana in Galilee. In the magi, the first Gentiles to encounter Christ, the Gospel sees the first-fruits of the nations who welcome the good news of salvation through the Incarnation. The magi's coming to Jerusalem in order to pay homage to the King of the Jews shows that they seek in Israel, in the messianic light of the star of David, the one who will be king of the nations.
The gifts the Wise Men brought — frankincense, myrrh, and gold — point not only to Christ’s divinity and his revelation to the Magi as the King of Kings, but also to his crucifixion. In giving herbs traditionally used for burial, these gifts bring a theological sense of anticipation of what is to come.

Our Mission
PRAYER TO MAKE A “SPIRITUAL COMMUNION”
Saint Teresa of Avila wrote: “When you cannot receive Communion and cannot attend Mass, you can make a spiritual communion, which is a most beneficial practice; by it the love of God will be greatly impressed on you.”
My Jesus,
I believe that you are present
in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love you above all things,
and I desire to receive you into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment
receive you sacramentally,
please come spiritually into my heart.
I embrace you now
as if you were already there
and I unite myself wholly to you.
Never permit me
to be separated from you.
Amen
