On Sunday, Jan. 5, our parish celebrated the Feast of the Epiphany. The Three Kings made a visit and presented their gifts to the baby Jesus. Also making an appearance was La Befana. On Jan. 5, throughout Italy, excited children prepare for a late-night visit from La Befana by hanging up socks to be filled with small delights. Befana, a grandmotherly woman who resembles a kindly witch, brings gifts to good little children, depositing them in stockings hung above the hearth, then tidying up a bit before taking her leave.

The parish's first Epiphany Gala took place on Saturday, Jan. 4, at Twin Ponds Golf & Country Club in New York Mills. Attendees were treated to a night of good food, friendship, dancing, and entertainment by Frank Cannistra. The event took the place of the annual Christmas Gala. The Social Ministry decided the best time to gather was after the holidays to avoid the hustle and bustle of the season. These photos are courtesy of A.J. Valentini and Mario Scalzo.
