Text Box: BULLETIN CONNECTION Christ is made manifest in these winter days. The Epiphany, the Baptism of the Lord, and now the changing water into wine at the wedding feast at Cana in Galilee all reveal aspects of Christ. These feasts are manifestations of God’s glory, a glory in which we have a share because of our baptism. With all the joyous feasting the past few weeks, we sometimes lose sight of the fact that the mystery of the Incarnation means not only that God became human in Christ, but also that humanity can now share in the divine life promised to us from the beginning. Jesus’ first sign at Cana in Galilee reminds us that God acts in this world. It may not always be as dramatic as a miracle. But God is forever joined to us, and we to God!

OUR APOLOGY - We want to apologize for  misspelling the name of a new family in the bulletin insert dated December 31st.  The name should be Wieslaw Matracz & Family.
