But perhaps the even greater challenge is\u00a0<em>keeping the Mass<\/em>\u00a0in Christ-mas! The reality that Christmas is a liturgical feast rooted in the Catholic Mass is almost completely overlooked by the majority of Christian world in its celebration of the holy feast of Christ\u2019s birth. But it was the Catholic Tradition that gave us both the date of Christmas and the liturgical expression of it as the saving mystery of our salvation.<\/h3>\r\n<h3>Thankfully, no Catholic Churches I know of canceled Christmas services this year (as did many Protestant churches), but it\u2019s clear that the Mass attendance numbers are down all over the place. We haven\u2019t yet bounced back from the losses of COVID.<\/h3>\r\n<h3>But here is where our apostolic Faith must be put into Action. \u201cTo evangelize\u201d means to share the Good News, and there is no better news than the <strong>Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ<\/strong> in the Catholic Mass. 2023 is going to be a year of commitment to bring this message of life and light to others, first to those who are fallen away and then to so many others who need the hope that only Christ can give.<\/h3>\r\n<h3>The Light of Christ has entered our dark and dreary world, let\u2019s drive the greatest return to Mass in history and spread the Light!<\/h3>\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>SERVICE PROGRAM OF THE MONTH: <br \/>Walk for Life \/ Novena for Life<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<h3>January is the month to reinvigorate our commitment to the defense of human life in a tangible way.
