Christmas is one of the most important holidays for Catholics. Every year, Catholics around the world come together to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, the son of God.
This morning, Bishop George Leo Thomas, Ph.D., celebrated Mass for Simbang Gabi. Simbang Gabi is a devotional, nine-day series of Masses attended by Filipino Catholics in anticipation of Christmas. Following the Mass was a brunch with Filipino food.
Parishes within the Diocese of Las Vegas celebrated the Feast with large celebrations. St. John Neumann in North Las Vegas hosted Bishop George Leo Thomas, Ph.D. as the main celebrant during the Monday evening Mass.
