2024-12-26 8:30 am Celebration of the Holy Mass for the 2nd Day in the Octave of Christmas.

Good morning and welcome to the celebration of the Holy Mass for the Second Day in the Octave of Christmas; Feast of Saint Stephen, the first Martyr. "...Like his Master, Jesus, St. Stephen died forgiving and praying for his persecutors, and thus makes us realise that the entry into the world of the Son of God gives rise to a new civilisation. the civilisation of love that does not yield to evil and violence and pulls down the barriers between men and women, making them brothers and sisters in the great family of God's children." Pope Benedicy XV!, 26th December 2009. The Responsorial Psalm is Psalm 31: "'Into your hands, O Lord, I entrust my spirit."
