he Feast of the Epiphany of the Lord has a
T
complicated beginning. The story begins
differently in the east and the west churches.
In the early fourth century, Rome and the churches in
the west did not celebrate Epiphany, instead they
celebrated the birthday of Jesus or the Incarna on on
December 25th. The feast affirmed the two natures of
Christ as both human and divine. It also celebrated the
appearance or manifesta on of God through Christ to
the whole world.

In the early fourth century, the churches in the east did
not celebrate the western Christmas, instead they
celebrated Epiphany. The eastern Epiphany celebrated
several events that revealed God in Jesus: The
Incarna on, the Birth of the Lord, the Adora on of the
Wise Men, Jesus’ Bap sm by John and the Miracle at
Cana. The eastern Epiphany was more concerned about
celebra ng the appearance of God to the world, rather
than historical events. By the middle of the fourth century, the west and east
churches began celebra ng both days. Christmas
celebrates the birth of Jesus or the Incarna on. Preface
II for Christmas states: “For on the feast of this aweͲ
filled mystery, though invisible in his own divine nature,
he has appeared visibly in ours; and begoen before all
ages, he has begun to exist in me; so that, raising up in
himself all that was cast down, he might restore unity to
all crea on and call straying humanity back to the
heavenly Kingdom” (2011 Roman Missal, p392).
Epiphany celebrates the entrance of Christ into the
world. The Preface for the Epiphany states: “For today
you have revealed the mystery of our salva on in Christ
as a light for the na ons” (2011 Roman Missal, p396).
Tradi onally, Epiphany is the day for blessing homes.
Family members gather at the main door of the house (inside or outside) and the following prayer is read by
whomever the family chooses. “Lord God of heaven
and earth, you revealed your only Ͳ begoen Son to
every na on by the guidance of a star. Bless this house
and all who inhabit it. Fill them with the light of Christ,
that their concern for others may reflect your love. We
ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen” (Book of
Blessings, p685). In Germany, when the prayer is finished, the following
inscrip on is wri0en with chalk above the door
(20+C+M+B+17), while another reads the corresponding
words: “The leers are La n Christus Mansionem
Benedicat (Christ bless this house). At the same me
the leers are the first leers of the names of the wise
men: Caspar, Melchior and Balthasar” (Twelve Days of
Christmas, Elsa Chaney, The Liturgical Press, 1955).

A couple planning marriage in the Catholic Church must
plan for at least six months of prepara on before the
wedding. This is a policy of the seven Bishops of
Michigan. The process begins with the bride or groom
(not their parents or some other representa ve)
contac ng the Parish Office. The par es, or their parents,
must be registered, ac ve members of the parish
according to the parish and diocesan wedding guidelines.
Even if the par es live outͲofͲtown, they should make this
ini al contact themselves. Couples mature enough to
plan marriage are very proud and excited to take this
important first step in the process. ANer supplying some
preliminary informa on to the Marriage Prepara on
Coordinator, Pa0y Sinta, their file is passed on to the
priest. They are to meet with their priest as soon as
possible to discuss the sacrament of marriage, select a
date and me for their wedding, and arrange to complete
the necessary prepara ons and paperwork. At mes, the
priest may request that the couple meet with the
Pastoral Associate or another member of the staff. To
get started with your arrangements, please contact Pa0y
Sinta at 248Ͳ283Ͳ2212.
The en re pastoral staff of St. Hugo of the Hills is most
willing and eager to make this whole process a blessed
experience for each couple J! 8, 2017

One of the results of the fall and spring phone calls to all
parishioners is the discovery that home and cell phone
numbers, email addresses, and the number of children
have changed over the years and the parish records no
longer contain accurate informa on. We need your help
to update the St. Hugo census/data informa on. We
have mailed copies of the Informa on contained in the
St. Hugo census/data system to all the families. Please
write on the family form any changes or addi ons to
the informa on. If your family informa on is correct
and no changes are necessary, write the word
“CORRECT” on the form. Then return the family form in
the enclosed envelope to the parish office or place it in
the Sunday collec on basket. Thank you for your help in

Three mes a year (fall, winter, spring), Confirmaon
preparaon sessions are offered to prepare adults or high
school students for the Celebraon of Confirmaon. Confirmaon may be received at different mes throughout
the year: first, at the parish celebraon at St. Hugo of the
Hills Church on Saturday, February 11, 2017, at 11 AM Mass
or second, Pentecost Sunday, June 4, 2017, at 11 AM Mass.
The Archdiocese of Detroit does recommend for adults or
high school students to parcipate in their parish
celebraon. What do you need to do? It is a very simple three step process.
First Step: You need to have been bapzed and received
Communion in the Catholic Church. If not, you need to
register for the RCIA process.
Second Step: You need to a4end the Confirmaon
preparaon sessions which are held on Sunday morning
from 9Ͳ10 AM in the parish office conference room.
Candidates for Confirmaon are asked to complete the
three sessions before the recepon of the Sacrament of
Confirmaon. The schedule for each are below:
Winter Confirmaon Preparaon for February 11, 2017, at
St. Hugo of the Hills
Session 1 = Sunday, Jan. 8, 2017, 9Ͳ10 AM
Session 2 = Sunday, Jan. 15, 2017, 9Ͳ10 AM Session 3 = Sunday, Jan. 22, 2017, 9Ͳ10 AM
Spring Confirmaon Preparaon for June 4, 2017, at the
Cathedral
Session 1 = Sunday, Apr. 30, 2017, 9Ͳ10 AM Session 2 = Sunday, May 14, 2017, 9Ͳ10 AM Session 3 = Sunday, May 21, 2017, 9Ͳ10 AM
Bring to the first session a recent copy of your Bapsmal
Cerficate with notaons. Please contact the church of
your Bapsm and request a “new” Bapsmal Cerficate
with notaons (issued within 6 months). You will need to
choose a Confirmaon Sponsor: a sponsor must be over 16
years of age; be a praccing Catholic who has received the
Sacraments of Bapsm, Confirmaon and Eucharist; and
not be the father or mother of the one to be confirmed (cf.
CCC 874). Canon Law states: “It is desirable that the one
who undertook the role of sponsor at bapsm be sponsor
for confirmaon” (CCC 893).
Third Step: You need register today for Confirmaon

Each year, the parish office receives many inquiries from
parish members who want to know how their
generosity will most benefit the parish. All giNs are
necessary and appreciated, but the simple answer is
this: A giN to the Catholic Services Appeal. GiNs to CSA
do not affect future CSA goals, and are not part of the
Archdiocesan Assessment. All monies received over the
CSA target are returned back to the parish without the
Archdiocese of Detroit keeping a por on of the
dona on. Christmas dona ons are also free from the
Archdiocesan assessment, but the Christmas giNs affect
the CSA target for the following year (the CSA goal is
calculated by coupling offertory and Christmas
collec ons together prior to using the contribu on
mul plier) and thus affects the CSA target for future
years. Whichever way you choose to remember St. Hugo of
the Hills, please note that your yearͲend giN will be
appreciated, and treated with great importance, as we
con nue to offer Spirit filled opportuni es for worship,
educa on and service. Thank you in advance for your
generous support of the parish and its opera ons.
If you have any ques ons about a yearͲend giN, or other
parish related inquiries, please reach out to Chris
Kozlowski, St. Hugo’s parish Business Manager. Chris can be reached at [email protected] or by calling 248Ͳ283Ͳ2208.

Today, on this celebra#on of the Epiphany
of our Lord, a common theme emerges in
the Scripture passages from Isaiah, St.
Paul’s Le0er to the Ephesians, and St.
Ma0hew’s Gospel. Jesus, our Lord and
Savior, through the Church, welcomes all
people to the faith Ͷ not just a few
chosen ones. In a spirit of evangeliza#on
and hospitality, do we invite and welcome
any and all who seek faith in Christ’s
truth? Do we ourselves discover this truth
through
Eucharis#c
worship,
evangeliza#on, RCIA, and faith forma#on
programs, including Bible studies, to learn
of God’s abundant gi>s?

Synod 16 Vo ng Results for Parishes
by Mike Stechschulte and Dan Meloy, The Michigan

The Archdiocese of Detroit Synod 16 process con nued
Saturday, November 19th, with the 400 members taking
on a more delibera ve role, vo ng on specific
proposi ons to recommend to Archbishop Vigneron.
Synod members were asked to choose by table their top
proposi on in three categories: Parish Culture, Parish
Func ons and Parish Leadership.
PARISHES
For the parishes theme, synod members were asked to
iden fy which single proposi on would be most helpful
to the task of building missionary parishes in three key
areas: Parish Culture, Parish Func ons and Parish
Leadership. Of the 46 tables, here are the proposi ons
that received the most votes in each category:
Parish Culture 48.9 percent, (22.5 votes): Build a culture of personal
encounter with Jesus that permeates every aspect of
parish life and that leads to a loving encounter of our
neighbor.
Parish Func ons (Pray, Invite, Connect, Mentor, Send) 26 percent, (12 votes): Equip, empower, and support
individuals and families in mission (e.g. evangeliza on,
social and economic transforma on, and spiritual and
corporal works of mercy)
Parish Leadership 39.2 percent, (18 votes): Establish pastoral leadership
teams as a norma ve prac ce, where team members
develop shared responsibility and accountability both to
the vision of the Archbishop and the mission of the
parish. Extend the same team dynamics and prac ces to
all parish and/or school staff.
The Archdiocesan Worship Office is offering nine RCIA
topics on four Saturdays, January 14, 21, 28 and
February 4 at Sacred Heart Major Seminary in Detroit.
RCIA, which stands for Rite of Chris an Ini a on of
Adults, is the program that brings new members into
the Church. The Worship Office uses CSA funds to
develop cer fica on programs for RCIA ministers and
forma on for RCIA teams, as well as for RCIA
consulta on to parishes. Because of CSA giNs, topics are
only $5 each and will include an overview of the RCIA,
the preͲcatechumenate and catechumenate, presiding
at minor rites, purifica on and enlightenment, and
Canon Law for RCIA teams. For more informa on about
CSAͲfunded ministries, programs, and services, please
go to www.AOD.org. Why Catholic Educa2on? Catholic Schools at the Archdiocese of Detroit integrate
faith and values into every part of the educa onal
experience. Whether in the classroom, on the athle c
field or in chapel, our students learn to think and act
according to the mind and heart of Jesus Christ. We
provide a second home for students where morals and
values are supported by educators who also serve as role
models in faith.
Catholic School students are challenged to achieve their
full poten al as academics. Data shows our students
score higher on standardized tests than their publicͲ
school counterparts. Nearly all Catholic School students
move on to a0end college.
Our goal is to educate students wholly, in mind, body
and spirit. We offer that through solid academics, aNerͲ
school ac vi es and opportuni es to worship and
prac ce the faith. A Catholic educa on gives students a
strong founda on as members of society and the
Catholic community.

The Great Adventure Scripture Study Thursday Morning (9:30Ͳ11:15 AM)
REVELATION: THE KINGDOM YET TO COME
Revelation: The Kingdom Yet to Come by Jeff Cavins is an intriguing study that shows how the kingdom
established by Christ in his Church is intimately connected with the kingdom of heaven. Here you will discover what the
mysterious figures and images of Revelation mean. You will see how Revelation is more than an apocalyptic vision of the
"end times." It is a revelation of God as our Divine Bridegroom and the Church as his spotless Bride. You will learn the
meaning of the mysterious figures and events in the book of Revelation. You will discover how the Mass is really heaven
on earth. You will learn about the Antichrist and his destruction. You will see the Second Coming of Christ and the Final
Judgment in the context of history. You will learn what will happen at the end of time and the establishment of a new
heaven and a new earth.

"And behold, the star that they had seen at its rising
preceded them, un l it came and stopped over the place
where the child was." In our day and age, the star of
Christmas has become a kind of decora ve symbol that
adorns manger scenes and Christmas trees. It suggests
something good and bright and holy, a visual indicator
that the "Light of the world" has appeared. But today, on
the feast of the Epiphany, we recall that originally, this
star was not just a pre0y symbolic ornament. This star
was a sign from God that intervened in the opera ons of
the physical universe. The Magi understood that this star
was sent from God to indicate where his Son would be
born.
Of course it should not surprise us in this season of all
seasons that God should choose to order the universe
according to his purposes. Jesus has just been born of a
virgin! God has just taken on human flesh. These events
in themselves are extraordinary divine interven onsͲͲ
miracles that defy the standard opera on of things. Why
shouldn't God choose to send a luminous star where he
wants it, when he wants it? Why shouldn't he reveal his
plan through the things that he created in the first place?
The beauty of today's feast is found, in part, in the fact
that the Magi were able to recognize this sign from God.
They waited for it, they saw it, and they rejoiced in it:
"They were overjoyed at seeing the star." We too should
be overjoyed in this season of God's special revela on to
us. We may need the eyes to recognize it, but truly we
have waited for a Savior, we have seen his appearance at
Christmas, and now it is me to celebrate! God is at work
in our physical world. He has come here, now to save us.
This is cause for rejoicing! J! 8, 2017
