As the popular Filipino Christmas Carol translates, Christmas is indeed coming!
We're half-way through Advent, "O" Antiphons will soon be sung, and this Sunday, priests may pull out the rose-colored vestments to set a tone of joyful expectation for the Lord's birth and Second Coming.
As we are one day closer to welcoming our Savior, this Saturday begins the Simbang Gabi novena with the archdiocesan celebration at St. James Cathedral. Mass begins at 11:00am with a blessing of all the parols (Filipino star lanterns) from parishes celebrating a Simbang Gabi Mass. This year, three parishes in the archdiocese are hosting the full nine-day novena. Here is the full calendar of the Simbang Gabi celebrations throughout the Archdiocese.
Let us all take advantage of these joyous opportunities to celebrate and proclaim the joy and hope we have in the birth of our Savior and King.
