A Message from the
Most Reverend John G. Noonan,
Bishop of Orlando

It is time to offer ourselves selflessly and return to the Father, to celebrate with a feast. Effective Palm Sunday, April 10, 2022, the obligation to participate in the Eucharist in person on Sundays and other holy days of obligation is restored.

Registration Open for Vantage Point (Becoming Catholic/RCIA)

Vantage Point is a casual small group environment where people explore Catholic Christianity, the message and teachings of Jesus and how to apply them to their life.

Join Us For Morning Prayer

Each morning, Monday through Saturday at 8:00am before morning Mass, a group of parishioners recite the Morning Prayer from the Liturgy of the Hours, the Universal Prayer of the Church. The Church considers this prayer to be second in importance only to the Mass itself. The Second Vatican Council has encouraged Lay people to also pray this beautiful liturgy. We invite all who are interested to join with us and we will be happy to assist any who are unfamiliar with the service. At present we say the Morning Hour (Lauds) in the Church. See you there!

Here’s how it works:

For your purchases to benefit Epiphany please visit smile.amazon.com rather than amazon.com.
Designate “Church of the Epiphany—Port Orange, FL” as the charity you are supporting. Make sure it is Epiphany in Port Orange!
Shop like normal through this website.
Once you complete your purchase a portion will automatically go to Epiphany.

Every little bit helps! Thank you!

HEALING MINISTRY
PRAYER REQUESTS
If you would like to send a prayer request to the “Healing Ministry of Epiphany,” please email the request to quigpatty@gmail.com. You can also submit prayer requests through MyParish App by tapping on the “Prayers” icon, and then tapping on “Requests” at the bottom of the page.

From Bishop Noonan:
“Mass will be celebrated at parishes. Mass schedules may change to accommodate appropriate social distancing. Chapels and Adoration Chapels will not be open.”

At Epiphany, this means:

We will observe the following weekend Mass schedule, to accommodate for capacity limitations:
- Saturday Masses: 4:00pm
- Sunday Masses: 7:00am, 9:00am, 11:00am & 6:00pm
- At this time, due to space and time constraints, we will not hold Saturday confessions.
Bishop Noonan has dispensed our Sunday obligation. Missing Mass at this time does not constitute a mortal sin. This means that if you are sick, at-risk, or experiencing any symptoms of coughing, sneezing, fever, etc., out of consideration for yourself and others, do not come to Mass.
The church building will be open only 15-20 minutes before Mass begins. At this time, we are able to operate at 50% capacity. This means that if we reach our capacity limitations, some may be denied entry to the church, asked to leave church, or may have to wait to enter church.
After each Mass is celebrated, the church will need to completely close in order to facilitate proper cleaning and sanitization of the building. We kindly ask that any fellowship and socializing happen off property following Mass.
Please be aware that not all entrances to the church building will be open. Please follow signs and directions of staff to enter into the church building.
Seating at Epiphany has been set-up in such a way to accommodate proper social distancing. We ask that our faithful comply with these protocols for the safety of everyone.
There are a number of guidelines that we will follow as we celebrate Mass together once again.
- Offertory baskets will not be passed around during the liturgy. Instead, parishioners are encouraged to drop off their offertory envelopes in the baskets by the main entrance upon arrival to Mass. We encourage our faithful to take the opportunity to use online giving during this time. More information can be found at our website at epiphanypo.com, or please call the office at 386-767-6111 for more help.
- The Our Father will be prayed without holding hands.
- The sign of peace will be shared through reverent bows toward our neighbors. There should be no handshaking, hugging, or contact between parishioners.
- The bringing up of the gifts by the faithful is suspended until further notice.
- Holy Communion will be distributed under only one species – the Precious Body. The Precious Blood will not be distributed.
- The Host is to be received in the hand only. The host will not be distributed on the tongue.
- While in line to receive Holy Communion, please practice social distancing between you and those in front and behind you.
If you serve in any liturgical ministry (lector, sacristan, altar server, usher, extraordinary ministers, etc.) during a weekend Mass, please reach out to your ministry facilitator for more information. The church office has communicated with your ministry facilitator about current needs/directives.
Coffee and Donuts Sunday Fellowship will be suspended until further notice.
Printed bulletins will not be distributed, but will be made electronically available through email, website, and MyParish App.
When Mass is completed, we kindly ask everyone to maintain an atmosphere of reverence in the church, and to keep quiet prayer. We encourage you to wave at one another from afar, and engage in fellowship and socializing once off church property.
Our Food Pantry has opened with modified procedures, Monday and Friday, 1:00pm – 3:00pm.

Please note that all in-person ministry meetings and gatherings remain suspended until further notice. No meetings or gatherings for any ministry may be scheduled on the parish calendar at this time.

May our goodness and sacrifice be a grace before God.

Fr. John and the staff of Epiphany welcome you joyfully back to our parish! We look forward to seeing you and continuing to walk this new journey together. Mary, Our Mother, pray for us!

Welcoming You Home to Epiphany

In order to safely gather together as the Body of Christ and to safeguard the health of our community members, there have been some adjustments and changes to the way we pray, gather, and celebrate liturgy as a community.

Bishop Noonan and the Diocese of Orlando have set forth these guidelines and they will be implemented across all parishes in the Diocese of Orlando. If you have not already, we invite you to watch the bishop’s video that explains these changes. You may also read about these changes in the link below.

Diocese of Orlando Reopening Guidelines

Your sacred and precious lives are of the utmost importance to us, and in this spirit, Epiphany is complying with all of these guidelines. This means there will be some adjustments and changes to how we pray, gather, and celebrate liturgy with our community.

Thank you Fr. John Bosco & Welcome Fr. Karl Bergin!
Bishop Noonan has appointed Fr. John Bosco Maison as the new pastor of Ascension Catholic Church in Melbourne, FL and brings Fr. Karl Bergin to Port Orange as pastor of Epiphany.

Christmas Gift Giving – An Epiphany Tradition
Please drop off your Gift Cards at Epiphany office or religious store by December 13, 2020

In order to minimize risk and impact we are asking for Gift Card donations only; specifically Target, Walmart, Visa, MasterCard, Publix, Winn-Dixie or Save-a-Lot. Our High School Youth Ministry will use these gift cards to purchase toys for children, and the ECCW will get gifts for our homebound parishioners. Grocery gift cards will be distributed to our families to assist them in purchasing food for their Christmas Dinner. PLEASE NO TOYS.

Please drop off Gift Cards with the gift card activation slip attached to the Epiphany church office or religious store by Sunday, December 13, 2020.

GOD BLESS and THANK YOU for being so generous.
