The Faith Perspective: Celebrating Christmas in the Vaz family

As Christmas draws near, we get into the spirit of preparation, anticipation, family bonding and gift-shopping - for some of us!

So how do our priests celebrate this blessed time? In this collaboration with Catholic Family Life, brothers Fr Eugene and Fr Ambrose give us a glimpse of how the Vaz household celebrated Christmas when they were younger - and what Christmas now means to them.

*Correction: Please note that Fr Ambrose Vaz is the Spiritual Director of the Marriage Preparation Course (MPC) Apostolate and not MPC Coordinators. This information is accurate at the time this episode was published.
