They were overjoyed at seeing the star, and on entering the
house they saw the child with
Mary his mother. They prostrated themselves and did him homage.
Then they opened their
treasures and offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and
myrrh. -Mt 2:10-11

M a s s e s T h i s W e e k Epiphany 2020 Dear Parishioners and
Friends of Holy Angels,
Each of the five Sundays of this first month of the New Year
I will expand on one new blessing we have in Holy Angels
Parish. Today, I choose one that is evocative of the title
given
to the third great Solemnity we celebrate in Christmastide,
namely today’s high feast.
While there are many things to celebrate at Holy Angels
Parish in this New Year just begun, one is particularly
fasci-
nating and an epiphany of sorts. It made the top headline in
an international Catholic website this past month: the 360-
degree, virtual tour of our adoration chapel and its
surround-
ing area that we now have on our website.
One can go to the Vatican website and take a virtual tour of
the papal and pontifical basilicas like St. Peter’s Vatican
Basilica or the Sistine Chapel. Now one can go on our web-
site, go to the tab “About” and under that tab scroll down
to
“Virtual Tour”. By clicking on that link one sees the
interi-
or—and more—of Our Lady Queen of the Holy Angels Adora-
tion Chapel. Currently, as it is a fresh and innovative addition
to our website, the link for the virtual tour is also featured
on
the front homepage of our website.
Why did I make the claim that this novel way to see the
adoration chapel and surrounding area is “an epiphany of
sorts”? Simply because it is a true epiphany for those who
come for the first time to understand the deep, Catholic,
spiritual foundation of the chapel by clicking on each of
the
blue-framed white circles (or media tags) one encounters
throughout one’s tour. In looking closely at what each blue-
framed white circle holds, by clicking on each one of them,
and by scrolling down on the right side bar of each to read
it
in its entirety, one deepens one’s religious knowledge. By
reading them all, one learns more and more about the theology
that went into conceptualizing, creating, building,
and adorning the chapel, piazzetta, and adjacent garden.
We would like to thank the company, Nuvo360, who made
possible at no expense to Holy Angels Parish the 360 degree
virtual tour of Our Lady Queen of Holy Angels Adoration
Chapel, the San Michelangelo Piazzetta in front of it, the
corridor both connecting it to the main church and also
inter-
secting with the Alleluia Cortile Meditation Garden, as well as
the narthex of our main church.

Compliments of Nuvo360
Joyous Epiphany blessings of Our Savior and Christ Child
are wished for each one of you! And may the New Year be for
each of us a continual epiphany unfolding for us the manifold
graces of our most loving God.
