Simbang Gabi is a devotional, nine-day series of Masses attended by Filipino Catholics as a spiritual preparation for the coming of Jesus Christ on Christmas.
The Spanish missionaries brought the practice to deepen the faith of the people of the Philippines. The Simbang Gabi, a novena of Mass, first introduced in Mexico, was known as Misa de Gallo. The masses were celebrated as early as 4:00 a.m. to allow farmers to participate in the liturgy before they went to the fields. Simbang Gabi is a long Catholic tradition among many Filipinos not only in the Philippines but all over the world where Filipinos find homes.
Simbang Gabi masses are occurring throughout the diocese beginning December 15th. See the scheduled below
