The Feast of Corpus Christi This feast presents an extraordinary opportunity for all of us to appreciate this special means of communion with our Savior, to receive it faithfully and to reflect on its meaning for ourselves, our community and the entire church.
Our community of Epiphany will respond by organizing a Eucharistic procession for the Feast of Corpus Christi on Sunday, June 7 immediately following the 12:00 noon Mass.
As a Catholic community, all parishioners are being encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity to join together in deepening our faith and celebrating the Eucharist.

Gospel: Matthew 28:16-20 Jesus asks his disciples to go to other nations and teach others all that they have learned. He asks that these new followers be baptized in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. “Then Jesus approached and said to them, ‘All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always until the end of the ages‛.” Once again we ascend a mountain, the place where God so often revealed Himself. Jesus approached the eleven, and He approaches me as well. He gave them a commission, and He speaks that same message to me as I read a too- familiar text. Because it is so well known we might quickly read and move on. But wait a minute. The apostles were sent to make disciples, missionary disciples in the words of Pope Francis. This is accomplished through the sacraments, with baptism leading the way. A teaching accompanies the mission, to love God above all things and neighbor as ourselves, not just to follow what I think is acceptable and not uncomfortable.
The final element of the commissioning experience is the assurance of the ongoing and abiding presence of the Lord to direct and sustain us. When the Spirit of Pentecost transformed them, the mission began, and continues through me today. All of us are called and sent as missionary disciples.
