Emmanuel Radio staff was pleased to welcome Marilyn Vallejo and Ron Thompson from St. Mary's Church in Shrewsbury to our recording studios this week to record an announcement for their upcoming Simbang Gabi event. Here are the details: On SATURDAY, DECEMBER 15 the Filipino tradition of Simbang Gabi will continue at the 4:30pm Mass at St. Mary’s Church in Shrewsbury. Filipino parishioners will lead the music at this Mass and offer a taste of Filipino treats after Mass. All are welcome. 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”. Church bells would start ringing as early as 3:00am, waking people up so they could get ready for the 4:00am dawn Mass which they would attend for the nine days before Christmas. Today the tradition continues. Churches are decorated with colorful lights and beautiful parol lanterns to welcome church goers. Join us for this Mass in Simbang Gabi Filipino tradition on Saturday, December 15 at 4:30pm at St. Mary’s Church in Shrewsbury.
