Homily for the Feast of the Holy Family

Every family is called to be a holy family modeled after the Holy Family of Nazareth.  If we look to Jesus, Mary and Joseph our families, too, can be families filled with joy, peace and happiness.

This homily was preached at St. Anthony of Padua Parish in Effingham, Illinois.

The text of the homily, with notations, is available here.
