On May 7th at the 10:30 AM Mass we will be having our annual May Crowning Mass. As in the past few years, we would like to recognize all Epiphany students who have received a Sacrament (Confirmation, First Communion, and/or First Reconciliation) and any Epiphany Students graduating from 8th grade or high school at this Mass. Each age group will receive a special gift from the parish and all recognized students will receive a gift card to Ted Drews.

Epiphany of our Lord Parish provides scholarships to the Catholic Schools in our area. Before you consider registering in another parish please talk to Fr. Pastorius about Epiphany’s school covenant program. The program helps families afford quality Catholic education and helps Epiphany keep our young families.

We want to congratulate Holy Infant because they are getting an awesome priest. Fr. Michael Rennier will be leaving Epiphany and starting at Holy Infant on January 17th. We will miss Fr. Michael. More information about a going away celebration to come

Getting to know Michael Rennier and working with him these years has truly been one of the greatest blessings of my life, and I am so excited for him to be ordained Thursday. (I am writing this on a Sunday in order to meet publishing deadline). I

John and Sandy Huber rolled the dice this week to see which Blessed Virgin Mary titles advances.

Homecoming Raffle Tickets The Church building should be cooler this week, as we have “jimmy-rigged” the older air-conditioner unit. Two years ago we were able to replace one of the two AC units on the Church because we sold out of Homecoming Raffle Tickets. It looks like we now need to replace the older AC unit sooner rather than later. Please keep this in mind as you think about buying a homecoming (or partial) raffle ticket. If you would like to buy a raffle ticket please contact the parish office or visit our website to purchase a ticket online, www.epiphanystl.org.

​​​​​​​I am happy to announce that Kirsten will, therefore, be in charge of the RCIA program for the 2016/2017year. Our new year for RCIA will begin in early September, but I want to strongly encourage you now to invite people to consider becoming Catholic. I would hate to have no one for Kirsten to prepare. So please ask your family and friends who are not Catholic and you think might want to be Catholic to think about it and to check the bulletin for more information throughout the summer.

During the last year of the school Epiphany could not afford to pay all its bill. During that time the Archdiocese covered our debt. Thanks to your generosity I am proud to announce that we have paid our debt back. We are now %100 debt free.
