Feast of the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph

Filed Under: Feasts Holy Days and Seasons

The Feast of the Holy Family is celebrated on the Sunday between Christmas and New Year’s. (If Christmas falls on a Sunday, it is celebrated on December 30.) The Holy Family serves as a model for all families. Here are some resources for youth ministers, catechists, teachers, and parents – the first teachers of their children.

The Feast of the Holy Family – Year B (2020)
The readings for the Feast of the Holy Family for Year B focus on the importance of family. So the topics for this weekend could include what it means to be a member of God's family. Different types of families - biological families, faith families, intentional families - could also be discussed.
Family Circle Game
Family Circle is a game which works well as an icebreaker or for a lesson about relationships. It also makes sense for a meeting about human dignity. We are all members of God's family.
Let the Peace of Christ Control Your Hearts
And over all these put on love, that is, the bond of perfection. And let the peace of Christ control your hearts, the peace into which you were also called in one body.
The Feast of the Holy Family – Year C (2021)
The readings for the Feast of the Holy Family for Year C focus on consecration, holiness, and sacred spaces. This is a good time to think about our own sacred spaces - our church, our prayer space at home, and even the earth.
The Feast of the Holy Family – Year A (2022)
The readings for the Feast of the Holy Family for Year A give us a look at the life of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. This is a time to consider how the actions of individual family members affects the others. How can we strengthen our families and communities?
Let the Peace of Christ Control Your Hearts
And let the peace of Christ control your hearts, the peace into which you were also called in one body.
