Holy Family Sunday

by Fr. Boniface Endorf, O.P.

Merry Christmas! Christmas is an octive, which means that it’s eight days long, running through the 1st, and ending on the Solemnity of Mary, the Mother of God. The 1st is a Holy Day of Obligation. Therefore, we’ll have a 7pm Mass on the 31st and on the 1st we’ll have our usual 12:10pm daily Mass and a 7pm Mass. As a Holy Day of Obligation, every Catholic is obligated to attend Mass for the Solemnity of Mary the Mother of God. 

Many people are also starting to think of what New Year’s resolutions they may undertake. Don’t forget spiritual goals. A great one would be to start spending time in our Adoration Chapel. Check our parish website for details. Adoration is life changing and brings us closer to God, and starting the habit of adoration would make 2026 a year of great spiritual growth.

Have a Merry Christmas,

Fr. Boniface
