THE FEAST OF THE HOLY FAMILY 

The primary purpose of the Church in instituting and promoting this feast
is to present the Holy Family as the model of all Christian families.
Just like Mary and Joseph were united in order to bring Jesus into the world,
so the purpose of every marriage is to establish a Christian family. 

This feast day is observed with the hope that it might instill into Christian 
families something of the faithful love and the devoted attachment that 
characterize the family of Nazareth.
