From the Archives: Epiphany Parish Team Ministry, 1976

Three priests newly named to team ministry at Epiphany Parish in Cliffside Park place statues of the Three Wise Men in the parish crèche prior to the Feast of the Epiphany in 1976, symbolizing their shared pastoral responsibility. The team was formally installed at Mass later that day. Pictured left to right are Rev. Patrick J. Leonard, Rev. John Renard, and Rev. Peter J. Zaccardo.
