What is Simbang Gabi?
Simbang Gabi, meaning "Night Mass," is a cherished Filipino Christmas tradition of nine dawn Masses (or evening Masses) from December 16 to 24, a spiritual preparation for Christmas, also called Misa de Gallo (Rooster's Mass). Introduced by Spanish friars for farmers, it's known for its early morning services, festive parol lanterns, Nativity scenes (Belen), and post-Mass treats like bibingka and p**o bumbong, symbolizing faith, sacrifice, and the journey to welcome Jesus.

Recently, our new Parish Pastoral Council members were commissioned. We are so grateful to these dedicated men and women who are giving their time and talents to serve on our newly formed Parish Pastoral Council. Please take the time to meet them and speak with them. As PPC members, they are the eyes and the ears of the parish, whose goal is to keep the lines of communication open between our parish community and parish leadership.
