The Santo Nino Filipino Community welcomed Bishop Kevin J. Sweeney, who was the main celebrant of a Mass for Simbang Gabi in the chapel of the Shrine of St. Joseph in the Stirling part of Long Hill Township on Dec. 17. Several priests concelebrated the liturgy. The Mass was part of a nine-day novena at St. Joseph’s and beyond, which is a Filipino tradition in anticipation of the birth of Christ.
