Celebration of the Three Kings Local Hispanic-Latino community members celebrate a mass and Novena in Spanish on the first Tuesday of every month. Each monthly mass is special, and January’s celebration in honor of the Three Kings was no different. The service included a trio dressed as the Three Kings, who visited Jesus as a child sometime after the Nativity; a husband and wife dressed as Mary and Joseph; and children dressed as angels. The Three Kings presented gifts to the baby Jesus, and the children received gifts donated by the Philadelphia Sheriff ’s Department. Pictured is Fr. Stephen Grozio, CM, Provincial of the Eastern Province of the Congregation of the Mission.
