Dear Friends,
The Christmas Season is one of my two favorite times of the year. It, indeed, is such a joyful time as we celebrate Our Lord’s Birth. It would follow that Christmas hymns are also among those which I enjoy singing the most.

In the Catholic Church, the Christmas Season began four days ago. It will extend until January 13, or as some prefer, February 2, the feast of the Purification of the Blessed Mother.

Since I last wrote, this website continues to expand. Each week the latest edition of the radio program and Sunday Sermon are uploaded. Perhaps the most exciting news is we have begun streaming live Sunday and HolyDay Masses. These broadcasts may be viewed through this website through the Holy Mass Live link. Since we just began on Christmas, it may take a week or two to archive them. I plan on uploading the video sermon from each broadcast. Simply follow the website links.

There are many of you who are not able to attend Mass on a weekly basis. This website ought to prove to be quite beneficial. It has been primarily, but not exclusively for you. I know that some who attend weekly Mass make use if the site for different reasons.

If you have any questions, you are invited to email me at father@catholichour.org .

May you be abundantly blessed during this Holy Season.
Fr. Joseph, OFM
