Meet the Holy Bishop
After the 1:00 PM Mass, Saint Nicholas—dressed in his traditional bishop’s miter and carrying his crosier—will visit with children at the Shrine in the church crypt.
Saint Nicholas will share the story of his life, explaining how a 4th-century Bishop in Myra became a symbol of secret generosity. He will tell the famous tale of the three bags of gold and, most importantly, share the beautiful story of the very first Christmas and the birth of the Savior.
