My name is Pat Ford and I want to begin my life here at Epiphany by letting you know a little about how I came to be here and why I have chosen to follow the Catholic teachings.
I was baptized at birth into the Protestant faith and have been active most of my life.
I have many Catholic friends and have had a strong leaning toward Catholism since I was a child. The church I had attended was small and slowly dissolving due to lack of attendance. I felt this was my chance to explore my interest. My best friend and later my sponsor with RCIA , Becky Capps, brought me to Epiphany.
My first impression was that this didn’t look much like the Catholic churches I knew and I wasn’t sure I would fit in here. It didn’t take long to change my mind. Sister Mary answered all my inquiries and assured me that we would take my journey together. The congregation at Epiphany was more than friendly and before I even knew it I was comfortable here and felt that this is where I belong.

You may have noticed something different during the “great amen” at the end of the Eucharistic Prayer at weekend liturgies, when a person with a plate of flowers and incense comes up the aisle and makes circular movements. This way of reverencing is called aarati [“AIR-uh-tee”], and is a form of homage common in India. Through aarati we give ourselves to God and to others using a plate of flowers and incense (or fire) as an expression of our love, devotion, reverence and surrender. It also demonstrates our connectedness in praise of God, a belonging to God and to each other.

Why Catholic? by Liz Runyon
When I first began the RCIA process, people would often ask the question, "Why Catholic?" Their inflection frequently conveyed their personal opinion as to my choice. Today I hope to share my journey and my personal experience of God and Jesus Christ during this journey.
I am a child of the 1950's. A Baby Boomer of sorts. I am the only child of older, for that time, parents. My parents were in their mid-thirties when I was born. They were loving, caring individuals, who fostered my own spiritual and personal development. I know my age 3 I believed in God and felt his presence. At the same time, despite this very fortunate beginning I was also aware of an existential aloneness. When I was 5 I remember nagging my mother for a baby sister. All my friends and siblings, and I was sure that somehow a sibling would fill this certain sense of loneliness. My father was an attorney and very active in politics so I was taught to be independent and private, to not share what was considered my family life. Not that there was that much to share, but the principal was instilled at an early age.
