Dear Parish Family,
We are delighted to invite you to join us in celebrating Simbang Gabi (Misa de Gallo) 2024. This cherished Filipino tradition unites us in faith and anticipation of the Nativity of Christ. This year’s event will occur on Sunday, December 15, 2024, beginning with the 7:00 PM Mass at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church, followed by a festive dinner reception in Mercy Hall.
What is Simbang Gabi?
Simbang Gabi, or Misa de Gallo, is a series of nine masses honoring the Blessed Virgin Mary leading up to Christmas. It’s a meaningful spiritual tradition that fosters faith and community, and it’s a wonderful way to prepare for the birth of Christ.
We invite everyone—families, friends, and parishioners of all ages—to join us for this special celebration of Simbang Gabi. Whether continuing a cherished tradition or experiencing it for the first time, it will be an evening of joy, faith, and fellowship. After the Mass, please join us for a festive dinner reception at Mercy Hall, where you can share a meal, enjoy beautiful decorations, and connect with friends, family, and neighbors.
