My Dear Parish Family,

Merry Christmas and

Happy New Year! Happy

Feast of the Epiphany! Now

that we have begun a New

Year and a new journey, we

must ask ourselves, how we

will make use of our time?

What improvements shall we make in our

lives? In what direction shall we look?

Perhaps the words of Eleanor Farjeon,

inspired by Sacred Scripture, can help us

find our direction on life’s compass:

“People, look East! The time is near-

Of the crowning of the year.

Make your house fair as you are able,

Trim the hearth and set the table.

People, look East and sing today:

Love, the Guest, is on the way.”

Such great words of joy should inspire us

all to hold dear to the truths that have been

born into our world. Christ our Redeemer

has been born! The three wise men have

found the Christ Child and have adored Him!

Let us embrace the example that our

Mother the Church has given us throughout

the centuries as we together turn to the East,

ad orientem, to joyfully await the coming of

the rising Son!

Please continue to pray for me as I will pray

for you.

Rev. Brian Patrick Woodrow

to whom be glory forever.
