Simbang Gabi

On Saturday, December 16th, St. Mary's held its first Simbang Gabi Mass. The Simbang Gabi tradition was introduced to the Philippines by the Spanish friars to allow the farmers to hear Mass before going to the fields early in the morning. Simbang Gabi is also known by its popular Spanish name as the Misa De Gallo or “Mass of the Rooster".
