Welcome
It is with great joy and open hearts that we extend a warm and heartfelt welcome to all of you. Whether you are a long-standing member of our parish or a newcomer seeking spiritual guidance, you are an essential part of our church community.
In our Catholic Parish Cathedral, we come together as one family to worship, learn, and support each other on our faith journeys. We embrace diversity, cherish our traditions, and find strength in our shared belief in the teachings of Jesus Christ.
As we gather for Mass, engage in ministries, and participate in our parish activities, may you feel the love and presence of God in your life. Our church is not just a place of worship; it's a sanctuary where friendships are forged, lives are transformed, and God's grace is abundantly shared.
We encourage you to explore all the opportunities our Catholic community offers for spiritual growth, service, and fellowship. Together, we can deepen our faith, spread love and compassion, and make a positive impact in our community and beyond.
Once again, welcome to Epiphany Cathedral. We look forward to getting to know you, walking with you on your faith journey, and sharing in the blessings of our faith.
With love and blessings,
Msgr. Patrick Dubois

how long is a service?
Typically, a weekend Mass is about 60 minutes in length (weekday 30 minutes). The Mass begins with an entrance hymn and consists of the Liturgy of the Word and the Liturgy of the Eucharist. For now, hymns and responses are projected on the walls; hymnals are also provided in all pews so all can engage and worship however you feel most comfortable. Be sure to greet any of our priests and deacons after Mass at the church entrances/exits.
What is the culture like?
Epiphany is a safe and inviting place for all to come and worship. Try to come to Mass a little early (don’t worry, there are plenty of Mass times to suit your schedule!) so you may be greeted by one of our ushers.
The Mass is an invitation to all to become active participants in adoration and worship.
The Mass has a lot of things happening at once, for it is, after all, the Memorial of Christ’s suffering, death, and resurrection, which become present in a real way. The Mass is a celebration of community and a chance to receive Christ’s Real Presence, in His Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity.
Epiphany is a place where you can feel safe and welcome to participate in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, as well as get involved in evangelization and ministries with the community!
What about my kids?
Rally the troops, wear whatever is most presentable and bring your kids to Mass! Please don’t worry if your baby is crying at Mass, there will be plenty of people who are parents and remember what it is like taking children to Mass. We want to hear a chorus of crying babies in the pews because that means the church is ALIVE. We also have a family view room at the back of the church if that is where you and your little ones feel most comfortable.
At Epiphany, we make the safety of everyone our priority. As Christian adults, we have a moral and legal responsibility and are entrusted by God with the spiritual, emotional, and physical well-being of minors and vulnerable adults. All our staff and volunteers who work with children and young people are Safe Environment screened and trained. The Safe Environment Program consists of two core components: Background Checking and Fingerprinting, and Training and Awareness.
What if i have not been to mass in a while?
Don’t worry! God is our Father, and His love is so great that He rejoices upon your return. Epiphany Cathedral welcomes new families and those who have been away for a while.
Those who receive Communion must be in a state of grace. We offer Confessions every Saturday 3:00 pm, until the start of the 4pm Mass in Chapel, and also, every Thursday (before the first Friday of the month), after the 8:00 am Mass, first Friday of the month from 6-7 pm, or by appointment. If you have not been to confession in a while, our priests would be happy to walk you through the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
Come as you are and bring a friend with you!
