The Feast of the Holy Innocents is celebrated on Dec. 28, within the Octave of Christmas, which lasts from Christmas Day to January 1. The liturgy that day reflects both sorrow for the deaths of the infant boys who were killed by King Herod, but also the joy they share in the glory of Christ's victory over evil. Father Chris Alar, MIC, explains.

The main reason people don't attend Mass or are not focused during the Liturgy is because they don't fully understand what is taking place.Once one understands the Mass fully, one comes to love the Mass fully and their life changes.Fr. Chris Alar explains each and every line of the Mass and its Scriptural origin.
