St. Bridget altar boy Marcos Mata leads the procession during a recent Spanish language service at the Catholic church near downtown Las Vegas. Once a small chapel that didn't serve many parishioners, St. Bridget a few years ago added a Spanish language Mass, which would become a force in the church's growth. In February the new church was dedicated, and Sundays now feature two Spanish language Masses and a Filipino service. Each Mass attracts hundreds of faithful.
