On the Occasion of the Feast of the Holy Family, after an Advent Retreat

Praised be the Holy Trinity 
and Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

(Date)


Reverend Pastor...........................................

On behalf of the Holy Family Association I want to thank you and congratulate you for the Holy Family Monthly Home Visit that you host in your parish. Some members of your parish attended the Advent retreat in .................................. on ......................, ....................., to pray and deepen in the Spirituality of the Holy Family. The retreat also served to reflect upon situations and family matters that deeply challenge and sometimes break the communion of the family.

During the retreat some members of the Holy Family Monthly Home Visit asked questions about the celebration of the Feast of the Holy Family and their consecration to the Holy Family. I referred them to their pastors and told them to be available to you in whatever you need to prepare the Feast of the Holy Family in your parish.

As you already know, the members of the Holy Family Monthly Home Visit consecrate themselves to the Holy Family of Nazareth. This consecration is renewed once a year on the Feast of the Holy Family.

With this letter I also send you the consecration form in order to help you prepare this special celebration for families of your parish. God bless you in your task as a Pastor and witness of the Gospel. If you have any comment or question related to the Holy Family Monthly Home Visit or the Holy Family Association, I´ll be glad to share with you the information available.

Yours, in Jesus, Mary and Joseph
