The Feast of the Holy Family is a wonderful celebration that takes place in the Church on the Sunday after Christmas. This special day honours Jesus, Mary, and Joseph as the perfect example for all Christian families. During the liturgy, we focus on the importance of family unity, love, and obedience, reflecting on how these amazing virtues were beautifully shown in the Holy Family. It's an excellent time for us to appreciate and celebrate the love that binds our families together!
