Pastor’s Commentary – Solemnity of the Holy Family
We here in the Diocese of Brooklyn begin the Jubilee of Hope by celebrating the Solemnity of the Holy Family. These are two significant celebrations in our faith, each carrying profound spiritual meaning and offering opportunities for reflection, renewal, and community.
The Solemnity of the Holy Family, celebrated on the Sunday after Christmas, honors Jesus, Mary, and Joseph as a model for all Christian families.
