Community Spirit

The Epiphany Community Spirit ministers to the everyday needs of our people, supports family and community life through social activities and cares for the health and wellness of individuals. We celebrate significant events, enrich and strengthen the overall sense of community in our parish, and call forth the gifts of parishioners as we bring the Epiphany community together. Parishioners will find special support in a variety of like-to-like ministries for: separated, divorced or widowed; youth; elders; singles; men; and employment seekers.

Feast of Epiphany, January 8, 2012

Posted Wed, 01/18/2012 - 02:00

How wonderful our celebration of our Feast! Liturgies the weekend of January 7/8 were filled with songs, liturgical dancers of all ages, our musical groups (choir, bell choir and youth band) and the “extraordinary” visit by the three kings. One of our parishioners had a “dream” (so to speak) or “desire” five years ago of having King Puppets made for the Feast of Epiphany.

“Parish Life” Now “Community Spirit”

Posted Mon, 09/12/2011 - 01:00

Community SpiritBy Sister Mary Gowern

The mission of the Parish Life Committee was to “build and support” community life. At one time this committee was called “Community Spirit”.

Last May, as we prepared to celebrate the Feast of Pentecost and our 40th Birthday the conversation among staff, Worship and Parish Life committees focused on building community spirit. That conversation led us to use the “fire bowl” at weekend liturgies and to provide tee shirts with a unique “spirit” design created by Sister Larraine.

Welcome, Fr. Randy!

Fr. Randy pictureRev. Randy Hubbard begins today, June 22, 2011, his pastoring of Epiphany.  He comes to us with years of pastoral ministry.  Most recently, he served as the Pastor of St. Stephen Martyr.  

The community of Epiphany welcomes Fr. Randy.  We ask God to abundantly bless Fr. Randy and our Epiphany parish as we journey together.

May the Spirit give all of us the gifts we need at this moment in our history.  May we give thanks to God for the leadership God provides us.

Welcome, Fr. Randy!

Farewell, Fr. Jeff!

Farewell Reception for Fr. Jeff

Fr. JeffWHAT: Farewell receiption for Fr. Jeff
WHEN: Sunday, June 19, 1pm
WHERE: Epiphany Community Center

Epiphany will have a Farewell Reception on Sunday, June 19th (Father's Day) at 1pm in our Community Center for Fr. Jeff Nicolas. 

He will preside all the weekend liturgies at Epiphany on the 19th. The liturgies as well as the afternoon reception will celebrate and give thanks for his pastorship here at Epiphany. The 1pm reception will have a "western theme" so if you have western attire, you might want to wear it.

Fr. Jeff brought great energy to his time among us and provided us many opportunities to grow and flourish.

We wish him many blessings as he assumes his new position as Rector of the Cathedral of the Assumption.

Farewell Fr. Jeff -- we'll miss you!

Order your new Epiphany t-shirt!

T-Shirt logoYou probably know that we have an Epiphany custom of wearing red for the feasts of Pentecost and Epiphany.  You have probably also noticed that throughout this Easter season as we anticipate Pentecost and our birthday, we have been focusing on the flame of the Spirit among us.  Very soon, we will be celebrating both our 40th Anniversary as a parish (June 5/6), and Pentecost 2011 (June 11/12).  

As a way to "get in the Spirit" of these wonderful occasions, we have created a special "flaming" t-shirt (designed by our own Sr. Larraine!) for all to wear at these liturgies and parties.  The shirts will be white, on 100% cotton, with the red & gold  flame design that you see here, on the front. By wearing the t-shirt, you will become part of our artful environment for these celebrations!  

We need to get an order in for the shirts ASAP.

Feast of Epiphany 2011

Posted Mon, 01/10/2011 - 02:00

 

The Feast of Epiphany came early this year. Its celebration was held on Jan. 1 and Jan. 2, 2011. The photos shown above capture our liturgical celebration as well as the festive social that followed. The color red is prominent. It is a time to “remember” what it means to be a member of this Catholic Community of Epiphany.

Enjoy!
 

Happy 4th of July!

All of us here at the Church of the Epiphany wish you a happy and safe 4th of July
O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!		 O beautiful for pilgrim feet
Whose stern impassioned stress
A thoroughfare of freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America!
God mend thine every flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!		 American flag
