Epiphany, also Theophany or Three Kings’ Day, is a Christian feast day that celebrates the revelation of God in his Son as human in Jesus Christ.
In Western Christianity, the feast commemorates principally (but not solely) the visit of the Magi to the Christ child, and thus Jesus’ physical manifestation to the Gentiles.
Crib
Once again our beautiful Crib created by Anthony Lawless is on display. We
encourage you to visit the crib and bring your children, grandchildren and
all the family with you.
Solemnity of Mary, The Holy Mother of God and World Day of Peace Sunday 1st January At the message of the angel, the Virgin Mary received the Word of God in her heart and in her body, and gave Life to the world. Hence she is acknowledged and honoured as being truly the Mother of God and Mother of the Redeemer.
A New Year’s Prayer
Lord, You make all things new You bring hope alive in our hearts and cause our Spirits to be born again. Thank you for this new year for all the potential it holds. Come and kindle in us a mighty flame So that in our time, many will see the wonders of God And live forever to praise Your glorious name. Amen
