Bishop Robert J. McClory incenses nativity scene statuary displayed near the sanctuary as Deacon Ivan Alatorre (right) watches at the Cathedral of the Holy Angels in Gary during Christmas Vigil Mass on the evening of Dec. 24. Bishop McClory presided at the Mass, which featured beautiful vocal and musical performances, and reminded believers that Bethlehem means "House of Bread," and that from the place of Jesus' birth to the present, Catholics nourish themselves on the Bread of Life.
