Diocese of San Diego Simbang Gabi flyer
Simbang Gabi (Filipino for “Night Masses”) is traditionally a pre-dawn novena of Masses from December 16-24 culminating at Christmas midnight mass. In San Diego, parish Simbang Gabi mass schedules vary dates and times to accommodate work and parish community needs. This tradition expresses the love of the people for God through His Mother, Mary, as they gather in prayerful anticipation of the Christmas miracle. Simbang Gabi draws on Filipino Catholics in the parishes to carry out these special gatherings and to share their religious tradition and culture with the whole parish family and community. All are welcome. This partial list has been compiled by the San Diego’s Diocesan Commission of Filipino Catholics. Schedules are subject to change; contact the parishes listed or a nearby Catholic Church for info.
