What will we talk about? Faith, hope and love, of course! (I bet you thought I’d say liturgy and music.) OK, we can start there. Vatican II proclaimed that liturgy is the “source and summit” of the Christian life. Liturgy is not just one activity of our life as disciples—it is “ the summit toward which all activity of the Church is directed; at the same time it is the font from which all her power flows.” (Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, Vatican II)
In other words, the church’s liturgy is the start and end points of everything that matters in life: God’s revealing of himself to us, our union with God and one another, morality, justice, spirituality, the meaning of life & death and more. It’s all in there.
If our faith and our worship are strong our parish will be strong. Everything that Epiphany is, was and is becoming is rooted in what we do for one hour on Sunday morning (or Saturday evening).
The coming months will be a time of transition in several ways: the closing of our school, celebrating our 100th anniversary, and building a shared vision for the future of our parish. We’re all in this together. Let’s talk, let’s sing, let’s live!

Thanks Scott for your comments here and on the Music Ministry page. I think the blog is ready to launch and then we will see how many visitors and comments come this way.
