The Holy Family consists of the Child Jesus, the Virgin Mary, and Saint Joseph. Veneration of the Holy Family was formally begun in the 17th century by Saint François de Laval, the first bishop of New France, who founded a Confraternity.
The Feast of the Holy Family is a liturgical celebration in the Catholic Church in honor of Jesus, his mother, and his legal father, Saint Joseph, as a family. The primary purpose of this feast is to present the Holy Family as a model for Christian families
FEBRUARY - Month of The Holy Family
The Gospels speak little of the life of the Holy Family in the years before Jesus’ public ministry.
Matthew and Luke narrate the episodes from this period of Christ's life, namely his circumcision and later Presentation, the flight to Egypt, the return to Nazareth, and the Finding in the Temple. Joseph and Mary were apparently observant Jews, as Luke narrates that they brought Jesus with them on the annual pilgrimage to Jerusalem with other Jewish families.
The Feast of the Holy Family is a liturgical celebration in the Catholic Church in honor of Jesus of Nazareth, his mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and his foster father, Saint Joseph, as a family. The primary purpose of this feast is to present the Holy Family as a model for Christian families. Since the 1969 revision of the General Roman Calendar, the feast is celebrated on the Sunday within the Octave of Christmas, that is, the Sunday between Christmas Day and New Year's Day (both exclusive), or if both Christmas Day and the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God are Sundays, on 30 December (always a Friday in such years). It is a holy day of obligation only if it falls on a Sunday (as is any Sunday).
The feast was instituted by Pope Leo XIII in 1893 and set on the Sunday within the Octave of the Epiphany; that is to say, on the Sunday between January 7 through January 13, all inclusive (see General Roman Calendar of 1960). The 1962 Roman Missal, whose use is still authorized, follows the General Roman Calendar of 1960, which has the celebration on that date.
Dear Lord,
Bless our family. Be so kind as to give us the unity,
peace, and mutual love that You found in Your
own family in the little town of Nazareth.
Saint Joseph, pray for the head of our family. Obtain for him the strength, the
wisdom, and the prudence he needs
to support and direct those under his care.
Mother Mary, pray for the mother of our family.
Help her to be pure and kind, gentle and self-sacrificing.
For the more she resembles you, the better will our family be.
Lord Jesus, bless the children of our family. Help them to be obedient and
devoted to their parents. Make them more and more like
You. Let them grow, as You did, in wisdom and strength and
grace before God and man
Holy Family of Nazareth, by your intercession, love,
and holy example, make our family and home more and more like Yours, until we are all one family,
happy and at peace in our true home with You.
Amen

Kid’s Tip:
Laughter is good medicine. God wants you to be happy and hopes
you will laugh with others but never at them or make fun of
them. So here is your prescription: LAUGH LOTS!
A Prayer to help you remember:
Dear Lord, laughter is Your gift. Today and ever day, put a smile
on my face and let me share that smile with all who cross my path…. And let me laugh. Amen
Due to the budget
shortfall, and
reduction in
