Parish Life

The Epiphany Parish Life Committee ministers to the everyday needs of our people, builds and supports community life through social activities. We celebrate significant events, enrich and strengthen the overall sense of community in the parish and call forth the gifts of our parishioners as we gather the Epiphany community together.

The Committee meets on the 2nd Thursday of the month at 5:30 at Epiphany House.
