Question & Answer

                                 How long does the Christmas season last?

                                 The Church's real Christmas season starts on Christmas Day and lasts until the Baptism of Our Lord.
                                 By celebrating the whole season, you can make your Christmas joy last long after you've taken down the tree.  Here are some highlights of the season:

                                 Feast of the Holy Family, December 28th.
                                 Gather for a special meal with family or make contact with out-of-town relatives.

                                 Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God, January 1st.
                                 Dedicate a special rosary to the Blessed Mother asking her to help you grow in love and trust.

                                 The Epiphany, January 4th.
                                 The example of the Magi homoring Jesus has become a symbol of sharing him with the world.  This is our chance to think about the way we live so that we can better reveal Christ to our world.

                                 The Baptism of Our Lord, January 11th.
                                 Baptism is our entry into the Kingdom.  Take time this day to renew your Baptismal vows and decide what you can change in your life to help you live as Christ did.
