Happy Feast of the Holy Family!!!
Did you know or remember that today, December 28 is the Feast of the Holy Family? The Feast of the Holy Family is a liturgical celebration in the Roman Catholic Church in honor of Jesus of Nazareth, his mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and his foster father, Saint Joseph, as a family. The feast of the Holy Family, instituted in 1893 by Pope Leo XIII was celebrated on the Sunday within the Octave of the Epiphany until January 1969 on whichever day from January 7 up to January 13.
It is now observed on Sunday between Christmas and New Year’s Day, in the Octave of Christmas. And when there is no Sunday because both December 25 and January 1 are Sundays, it is held on December 30, a Friday.
Happy New Year!!!

2008 Dec 29 2Thanks for the reply Gen! As of now I can sponsor EC credits and 125×125 ad spots in my blogs. With regards to sponsoring cash, I still cannot commit since we still have to budget for our trip to Cebu in two weeks and for my son’s 2nd bday. Until when are you accepting sponsors pledges?
Happy New Year Gen to you and your family!
