Christmas and New Year’s schedule
Christmas Novena – Simbang Gabi – December 16th – 24th, each evening, starting at 6:00 pm
All are invited to nine days of Novena masses for Christmas, starting at 6:00 pm with Holy Hour Eucharistic Adoration and Benediction, Confessions, Rosary, followed by Holy Mass at 7:00 pm. Christmas Novena or Simbang Gabi is a Catholic tradition that is celebrated across the world. It is a significant moment not only because it strengthens relationships among family members and the community, but also because it is a time when our faith is intensified. It is a great source of spiritual nourishment to all of us as we prepare for the celebration of the birth of our Jesus Christ. Invite your families and friends and come share in this wonderful time of Reflection.
