Simbang Gabi Mass and Celebration

Image description

“Simbang Gabi," which translates as evening Mass, is a Filipino tradition. Filipinos celebrate Mass during nine consecutive nights during Advent in preparation for the celebration of the birth of Jesus. Special prayers are offered to request blessings from the Lord. After Mass, families gather to share some food and fellowship. It is a tradition that encourages community engagement, promotes camaraderie among parishioners and provides an opportunity for worshippers to prepare their hearts to welcome our Saviour. Each evening is sponsored by a different group of individuals and a different priest comes to celebrate each evening too. All are welcome to come for Mass. Feel free to share some food after too!
