Every year, dozens of parishes around the Archdiocese of Los Angeles host celebrations marking Simbang Gabi, a Filipino tradition that celebrates the nine days leading up to Christmas with the celebration of the Mass, novenas, and food.
This year’s theme is “Journeying together in Christ as Pilgrims of Hope.” The celebration kicks off Sunday, Dec. 15, at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels with a 6:30 p.m. Mass celebrated by Archbishop José H. Gomez. The Mass will be preceded by traditional music and the Parade of Parols. The parols, a Philippine Christmas symbol, will be blessed at the end of Mass.
