As the Christmas Season draws to a close, the Church celebrates the Solemnity of the Epiphany of the Lord, rejoicing that Christ is revealed not only to Israel, but to all nations. This feast reminds us that Jesus is the Light meant for every heart, every culture, and every corner of the world—and that we, too, are called to reflect that light in our daily lives.
Fr. Skip reflects on the meaning of Epiphany as a moment of revelation and response. Like the Magi, we are invited to follow the light God places before us, even when the journey is unfamiliar or challenging. True faith, he reminds us, requires movement—leaving behind comfort, fear, and certainty in order to encounter Christ more deeply. Epiphany calls the parish to be a beacon of welcome, witness, and hope, sharing Christ’s light through hospitality, service, and faithful discipleship.
Parish life resumes its regular rhythm following the holidays, with Faith Formation, Life Teen, Edge, prayer groups, and ministry gatherings continuing this week. Parishioners are encouraged to stay engaged as programs begin the new year with renewed purpose and energy.
Daily Mass, weekend liturgies, Confession, Eucharistic Adoration, and parish devotions remain central to parish life. As the Christmas Season concludes, the liturgy gently transitions into Ordinary Time, reminding us that Christ remains present and active in the ordinary moments of our lives.
The Rosary, Divine Mercy Chaplet, Eucharistic Adoration, and Healing Prayer Ministry continue to provide opportunities for prayer, reflection, and spiritual renewal. These devotions help anchor the community in faith as the new year begins.
Faith Formation for children, youth, and adults continues, along with Life Teen, Edge, Confirmation preparation, OCIA, and Young Adult Ministry. Parishioners are invited to discern how God may be calling them to deeper involvement in ministry and service this year.
The parish gives thanks for the continued generosity of the community as the year begins. Stewardship remains a vital expression of faith, allowing Blessed Trinity to carry out its mission of worship, formation, outreach, and care for those in need. Parishioners are encouraged to prayerfully renew their commitment to sharing time, talent, and treasure in 2026.
The parish continues to pray for the sick, the homebound, and those who have died. United in prayer, the community entrusts the new year to God’s mercy, guidance, and peace.
