December 20: Simbang Gabi (2025)

Continue your preparations for Christmas by joining Mary, Mother of God Parish for the Filipino Advent tradition of Simbang Gabi! In the Philippines, Simbang Gabi is a celebration consisting of a nine-day series of early morning Masses to prepare for the birth of Christ on Christmas Day. Filipino immigrants have proudly introduced this beautiful tradition to the Church in the United States.

We are hosting a Simbang Gabi Mass followed by a joyful reception on December 20 at 4:30 PM at St. Gregory the Great church (5545 N. Paulina).
*Generously hosted by the Filipino community of our parish.*
