SUMMARY:

St. Thomas Episcopal Catholic Church held a special Mass to celebrate the Feast of the Three Kings. Children from multiple parishes performed a pageant highlighting the story of Jesus’ birth. Father Satish explained that Christmas isn’t just a one-day event; it continues for 12 days. The feast, celebrated on January 6th, reminds worshipers that Jesus is for everyone, symbolized by the visit of unknown kings. This year marked the first children’s pageant, created from scratch due to a lack of scripts. Father Satish also encouraged reflecting Jesus’ light by guiding others toward it.

One Coast church is kicking off the New Year with faith and community.

Despite initial challenges, the presence of a global leader like Carter amplified recovery efforts, which are still ongoing today. His legacy of humanitarian work will continue to inspire future initiatives.
