SIMBANG GABI 2025
As we prepare our hearts for Advent, we are truly blessed to celebrate the nine nights of Simbang Gabi here in Rochester for the first time. We offer our heartfelt thanks to all who have worked hard to make this cherished tradition possible. We especially thank Fr. Edison Tayag for offering to celebrate four of the nine Masses.
All are warmly invited to join the Masses as often as you are able, that together we may glorify God in prayerful anticipation of the coming of our Lord. With the loving intercession of the Virgin Mary and St. Joseph, may our prayers be heard and our hearts be made ready to receive Christ, our King. May all honor and glory be given to God alone, now and forever. Amen.
Also, we'd like to invite adults and children who have a Parol to carry it during the Processional and Recessional of our Simbang Gabi Masses, especially those presided over by Father Edison. This meaningful tradition beautifully symbolizes the guiding Star of Bethlehem and the light of Christ leading us in faith and hope throughout the Advent season, as well as the Jubilee theme, Pilgrims of Hope. The parol not only lights our way to the celebration, but also represents victory of light over darkness, inspiring us to follow Christ as the true light of the world.
