Today we are celebrating the Feast of the Epiphany when the Three Kings visited Baby Jesus.
" When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. They saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshipped him.Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh." (Mat 2:10-11).

We have studied how 'difference' can lead to prejudice but also to enrichment. We are going to study 'The Communion of Saints' (all those who make up the Church) and research different saints.
