First Friday Mass this morning, followed by breakfast in the parish hall and then back to the church for a "pro-life" rosary. I really enjoy First Fridays at St. Catherines. It is truly a blessing to be able to say the rosary with other families
I noticed that Pope Benedict XVI celebrated the Epiphany today. I had thought the feast was moved to Sunday for the universal Church, not just for the United States.... (any info on this?)
Here's another gem, this time from the Curie d'Ars:
An undertaking to be pleasing to God must have three conditions: It must be sincere, selfless, and perservering.
From Bethany, the small holding in Bethune...Oremus pro invicem!

The yearly calendar I got from my parish had a footnote on January 6th, saying that the feast of the Epiphany is transferred to the following Sunday in most of the US. It listed the six or so dioceses that leave the feast on the 6th, but I don't remember what they are.
Here is a page that list the Holy Days of Obligation, although it's not a complete explanation.
This is very interesting. I have never seen some of these feasts celebrated on a Sunday (March 19th for instance.)
At Mass on Sunday our pastor explained that for most of history, the Epiphany was the great feast of the Christmas season and not Christmas day...
Thanks for the information.
