Dear Parishioners,
Epiphany is a beautiful celebration. For the first time Jesus is revealed to people who are not Jews. This celebration brings everybody together. It tells us that every human being shares in the same inheritance as a son or daughter of God, that Jesus was born for everyone. But that does not mean that the barriers that divide people have disappeared. We still see divisions in the world, divisions that are based on race, ethnicity, religion, nationality, and wealth. All these divisions reflect also the separation that exists between people and God. As Christians we are all called to bring about love and healing. May all of us work to build a world that is free from all division, exploitation, war and violence.
I am sure that you all had a wonderful Christmas, that you were able to celebrate it with your family, loved ones and friends. I would like to thank you all for your generosity to St. Denis and OLW during the Christmas season! Let me wish you all a Happy New Year! May the New Year be a year of many blessings!
Yours Sincerely,
Fr. Jose Shaji, Pastor
