Celebrate a Filipino Catholic Tradition
Simbang Gabi is a cherished Filipino Catholic tradition of nine Masses celebrated in preparation for Christmas. Rooted in faith, sacrifice, and joyful expectation, it invites us to prepare our hearts for the coming of Jesus Christ. Traditionally celebrated before dawn from December 16 to 24, Simbang Gabi brings families and communities together in prayer and fellowship.
Although deeply rooted in Filipino culture, everyone is warmly invited to participate. May these nine days renew our faith, strengthen our families, and fill our hearts with Christmas joy.
Come and join us for Simbang Gabi as together we prepare the way of the Lord and celebrate the joy of Christ’s coming!
This year, our parish will hold just a one-day celebration on December 13th during the 7:30 AM Holy Mass. There will be a reception following the Holy Mass.
