What is Simbang Gabi?

Simbang Gabi is a nine-day series of dawn Masses and prayers that is a central part of Filipino Christmas traditions. It is a devotional practice that takes place in the early mornings in the lead up to Christmas. The name translates to "Night Mass" in Tagalog. 

It symbolizes a time to prepare spiritually for Christmas and to commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ.  It is also a way to ask the Lord for blessings. 

Filipinos celebrate Simbang Gabi with Masses, prayers, and festive gatherings.   After the Mass, people often eat traditional delicacies like bibingka, puto, suman sa pasko, and suman sa ibos. 

We need to know how many will be attending Mass and the meal to follow, so we can plan effectively for your evening. 
We are also in need of volunteer to help & donate supplies.  Any monetary donations can be cash or check (payable to St. Edna) and they can drop it at the office or during the event.
