Holy Family Catholic Church

Dec. 31 was the Feast Day of Holy Family, which is the feast day of LW’s Holy Family Catholic Church parish as well.

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 families can draw inspiration and know where to find help and comfort.

The church celebrated with delicious apple cider and cookies after the mass.

Parishioner and artist Thuy Do gifted the church a beautiful portrait of the Holy Family made of glass.
