Happy first day of September!
This is an exciting month in the Liturgical Year; we are still moving through the season of Ordinary Time, the longest season of the Church Year but is anything but "ordinary!"
September 14th - The Feast of the Holy Cross The first feast of the month is the Feast of the Holy Cross, where we celebrate the cross of Christ and what it means to us as Christians.
September 21st - The Feast of St. Matthew On this day we celebrate St. Matthew, faithful disciple of Jesus and writer of the Gospel of Matthew.
September 30th (transferred) - The Feast of Michael and All Angels On this day we celebrate the Archangel Michael and all of the angels that God created and uses as warriors, messengers, and worshippers in the heavenly realms. Note: Usually this feast day falls on September 29th but since it falls on a Sunday this year, it is transferred to the following day so as not to compete with Sunday which is a feast day in and of itself.
Follow along as I share everything you’ll need to celebrate every special day this month, including the history, recipes, and traditions!
