What is Simbang Gabi? Simbang Gabi, which means “Night Mass,” is a devotional series of nine Masses in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary, celebrated in the early hours of the morning. It is a time for prayer, reflection, and anticipation as we await the coming of our Savior.

Prayer: Loving God, as we gather for Simbang Gabi, may our hearts be filled with joy and gratitude. Help us to prepare ourselves for the birth of Your Son, Jesus Christ. May this tradition strengthen our faith and deepen our love for You and one another. Amen.

Join us in this joyful tradition as we come together in faith, celebrating the anticipation of Christmas and the blessings of community.
