  • The Epiphany of the Lord – Solemnity [06 Jan -Wednesday]
   This is the day that David prophesied in the psalms, when he said: All the nations that you have brought into being will come and fall down in adoration in your presence, Lord, and glorify your name. Again, the Lord has made known his salvation; in the sight of the nations he has revealed his justice. This came to be fulfilled, as we know, from the time when the star beckoned the three wise men out of their distant country and led them to recognise and adore the King of heaven and earth. The obedience of the star calls us to imitate its humble service: to be servants, as best we can, of the grace that invites all men to find Christ. Dear friends, you must have the same zeal to be of help to one another; then, in the kingdom of God, to which faith and good works are the way, you will shine as children of the light: through our Lord Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with God the Father and the Holy Spirit for ever and ever.

Please take a copy of the Newsletter home with you - please do not leave it in the church. Thank you.

The benefits are: no more smoke or soot damage; no more plastic or aluminium cups; no more unprotected flames; environmentally friendly; no more wax spillage on the floor... If you want to dedicate any of the candle stands in memory of your beloved ones, please contact Fr Antony.
