Welcome to St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, Cumbernauld
The Epiphany of the Lord celebrates the revelation of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, symbolized by the visit of the Magi. In the Gospel, the Magi follow the star to find the newborn King, bringing gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. This event highlights the universality of Christ’s mission, showing that He is the Savior for all people, not just for the Israelites. The feast also emphasizes the importance of seeking Christ with open hearts, as the Magi did, following the light of faith wherever it leads.
Through this celebration, we are invited to reflect on our own journey to find Christ in our lives, to offer our gifts, and to share the light of His love with the world. Just as the Magi were guided by the star, we are encouraged to trust in God's guidance and to remain faithful on our own paths toward Him.

We, the parishioners of St. Joseph’s Cumbernauld, following the example of our Patron and Protector, believe that each member is called to ownership, discipleship, and evangelisation to our parish and local community.
The parish is a community of God’s people centered on the word of God and the Eucharist:
where all seek to be loving and caring, welcoming, forgiving, serving and healing;
where the poor can go for help, the lonely for company and the sorrowing for comfort;
where, with obedience to our own faith and respect for other faiths, we seek unity with all;
where, in a spirit of mission, we aim to promote God’s glory throughout the world;
where there is a passion for justice and peace;
where, as stewards of creation, we care and protect the environment locally and globally; and,
where Christ is the way and the truth and the life.
We do all of this as members of the Catholic community within the
Archdiocese of Glasgow and the universal Church.
