The Octave of Christmas

The Nativity of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is such an important event that we have eight days in which to celebrate it. That extended celebration is called the Octave of Christmas and it affords us additional opportunities to celebrate Christmas at Mass. The Octave is particularly helpful this year when the seating capacity is limited to 60 at Saint Paul Church and 80 and at Resurrection. Reservations for Christmas Masses were filled almost immediately.

For those who would like to celebrate Christmas at church but were unable to reserve a seat, the Octave creates additional opportunities to celebrate Christmas in church. The first opportunity within the Octave is Holy Family Sunday, December 26-27.

The Mass schedule for Holy Family Sunday is: Saturday, December 26 at 4 PM at Resurrection; Sunday, December 27 at 7 AM and 10 AM at Saint Paul; Sunday at 9.30 AM, 11.30 AM and 5.30 PM at Resurrection. Of course, reservations are required for these weekend Masses. (Links are below in this email.) We also have our weekday Masses at 9 AM at Saint Paul and 7 PM at Resurrection within the Octave of Christmas. Reservations are not needed for the weekday 9AM and 7 PM Masses.

We give glory to God as the Eternal Word of God, Jesus, became flesh and dwelled among us. I hope that you will be able celebrate the Eucharist at Church during the Octave of Christmas.

God bless you and your family. Merry Christmas.
