The Feast of the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph is normally celebrated on the Sunday after Christmas. This feast developed at the beginning of the 19th century in Canada and then spread to the entire Church in 1920. At first, it was celebrated on the Sunday after Epiphany. It is a Feast that seeks to portray the Holy Family of Nazareth as the “true model of life” (cf. Opening Prayer) from which our families can draw inspiration and know where to find help and comfort.
The Sunday after Christmas is the Feast of the Holy Family. Today, we pray that our families may obtain the grace to pursue holiness. May the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary, and St. Joseph be our guides!
