Feast of the Holy Name

January 1 @ 5:30 pm - 6:30 pm

Join us at 5:30 p.m. on January 1 in the chapel. There will be no parish supper this Wednesday.

Celebration on Jan. 1, the eighth day after the birth of Jesus, when he was named and circumcised. He was “called Jesus, the name given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb” (Lk 2:21). Under the Law of Moses, all male infants were to be circumcised on the eighth day after birth (Lv 12:3). It was also customary at this time for family and friends to witness the naming of the child. This major feast is celebrated on Jan. 1, the eighth day of the Christmas season.
