This weekend’s Ministry Moment features our St. Vincent de Paul Conference. The “moment” will be presented by a member of the SVdP at each Mass. Members will be in the Connector to answer questions after the Masses. They will explain what the ministry is, how it affects lives, and where it fits within the overall mission of the parish. Learn more about how you can become involved through your prayers and participation. Please pray for our St. Vincent de Paul Conference by asking God to bless it and the overall mission of our parish.
A long-standing tradition at Epiphany is the annual Easter Garden. Every year, the Art & Environment Ministry has built a garden surrounding the altar using flowers and plants loaned or gifted to us by parishioners. With the Garden Coordinator position vacant, we are tweaking this tradition for this year. Instead of dropping off flowers and plants, we ask you to make a “Garden Share” donation so we can purchase beautiful, lower-maintenance plants and flowers appropriate for our low-light environment. A Garden Share donation is $20 each. Click on the blue link above for more information.

Please drop off these items in the Connector. Thank you!
Mark your calendars for this year’s ecumenical summer bible program for children PreK-6th grade. This year we are in “Cycle E” or when we begin exploring the person of Jesus proclaimed through the Gospels. Many adults and youth (Grades 7-12) are needed to help carry on this tradition of giving participants a glimpse of the daily life at the time Jesus lived through prayer, storytelling, craft-making, music and song, games, and other activities. Information on how to register is coming soon!

Each year on the First Sunday of Lent, catechumens and candidates around the archdiocese gather for the Rite of Election or the Call to Continuing Conversion. In the name of the Church, the rite is an act of recognition by Archbishop Shelton Fabre of those baptized in another Christian tradition who now seek to come into full communion with the Catholic Church. It also marks the beginning of the final preparation for the candidates seeking to complete their initiation at the Easter Vigil.
