On Wednesday, Dr. Guillermo Villa-Trueba, Hispanic Outreach Manager for the Missouri Catholic Conference, participated in a Facebook livestream, hosted by Erick Chinchilla, Pastoral Ministry Assistant for the Diocese of Jefferson City. They talked for over 40 minutes about the most popular myths surrounding the origins of Christmas, why the Church decided to celebrate it on December 25, and why we should embrace our beautiful Christmas traditions (always keeping in mind that what we are celebrating is the birth of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ).
