BAPTISM. Application forms for infant Baptism are available in the porch.  Please fill in and present to Parish Secretary during office hours and make an appointment to see Fr. Kevin.  It is unwise to organise a reception until the date of the baptism has been approved. Please be aware that baptism will now be on First Saturday of every month.

MARRIAGE IN CHURCH.  Couples thinking of getting married later this year are asked to register in good time.  Make an appointment to see Fr. Kevin and he will help you from there.  Couples planning to marry in another parish or even outside the country should realise that the process properly begins here.

THE EPIPHANY OF THE LORD. The Epiphany is the manifestation of Jesus as Messiah of Israel, Son of God and Saviour of the world. the great feast of Epiphany celebrates the adoration of Jesus by the wise men (magi) from the East, together with his baptism in the Jordan and the wedding feast at Cana in Galilee. In the magi, representatives of the neighbouring pagan religions, the Gospel sees the first-fruits of the nations, who welcome the good news of salvation through the Incarnation. The magi's coming to Jerusalem in order to pay homage to the king of the Jews shows that they seek in Israel, in the messianic light of the star of David, the one who will be king of the nations. Their coming means that pagans can discover Jesus and worship him as Son of God and Saviour of the world only by turning towards the Jews and receiving from them the messianic promise as contained in the Old Testament. The Epiphany shows that “the full number of the nations” now takes its “place in the family of the patriarchs”, and acquires Israelitica dignitas (is made “worthy of the heritage of Israel”).

ALL NATIONS SHALL FALL PROSTRATE BEFORE YOU, O LORD
